I left my profile a little bit vague on purpose. I don’t want a gift list I want to see what someone else would give a relative stranger. I left some clues, of course, no point in being difficult. ;) I am so thrilled with what my SS chose to send! I am over the moon, really.

First of all is a fantastic book by an author I have never read yet the premise of the book sounds right up my alley. Under Land by Robert Macfarlane, who is billed as a great nature writer of our generation. As a fan of the late Edward Abbey I look forward to reading prose from the new generation of naturalists.

Then I got the super comfy fuzzy socks (2 pairs, aw yeah) that I had mentioned in my profile. Good job, secret Santa. I love happy toes. <3

And then my secret Santa extraordinaire sent me a bag of their favorite coffee, from the Kickapoo coffee roasters company in a bright summer solstice blend. I can not wait to try this coffee. And summer solstice is my favorite day of the year.

But wait, there’s a little box....pull ovah and pahk tha cah! Is that the frickin’ horse from Horsin’ Around? BoJack is my spirit animal. I don’t know how you knew, but it’s true.

And then on top of all of that is a can of mixed nuts. My friends and I used to give each other cans of mixed nuts to signify how crazy our group was and I even went to far one year to write a poem called Mixed Nuts.

Thank you for the thoughtful note and for making my Christmas so much more full and joyful!
