December 1, 2014 - The hour had approached. I was in my classroom, teaching freshmen how to do some simple shit like solving for X. It was then that I received a message "Give me a bulleted list of pros and cons for messenger bags". This was when I realized that I was going to like my Santa.

A few days later I received another message, this time with lists of fabrics. This told me so much more about my Santa.

This past week I received a notification that my gift had been shipped, and it was coming from the same state as me. This made me even more excited.

Today, December 18, I received my gift of a handmade messenger bag that will be extremely useful carrying books, binders, and my laptop to and from work.

Thank you so much, Santa. I love handmade things.
