I came home yesterday to a note that I missed a package, and I didn't recognize the sender's name. That could only mean one thing - SECRET SANTA. This morning I ran through the Chicago snow and gunk and gross to my leasing office, and picked up my Snoo-adorned envelope from New Zealand! Funnily enough, I was a Secret Santa to someone IN New Zealand. Small world.

There was no name, but thank you from the bottom of my heart, Secret Santa. This is a truly thought-out, personal gift, and I'm over the moon. It included... -2 monster bricks of dark chocolate -A bag of Pineapple Lumps candy (aka breakfast) -2 New Zealand keychains -A mitten and glove pattern book with a newspaper clipping inside about the book (I AM DEAD FROM LOVE OF THIS BTW) -2 skeins (!!!) of New Zealand alpaca (aw yiss, motha fuckin alpacaaaaaaa) -1 skein of New Zealand merino

This is such a thoughtful, meaningful and personalized gift. Full disclosure - I can't stop rubbing the yarn all over my face. It's so damn soft, ad I am praying I'm not the only knitter that does this.

Thank you thank you THANK YOU!! I'll never forget this, and am so grateful.
