Thank you so much, Santa! It is my birthday today, coincidentally, and I've turned 30! The boyfriend has food poisoning so our plans today have been pushed to another time. Actually pretty typical for birthdays around the holidays, lol. So these gifts came as a double whammy today. A little bit of cheer for my birthday for a long day of the blues.

I absolutely love the necklace and the tea mug. I have neither of these things! And I can't wait to use them!

For those not in the know: the necklace is Jareth's from The Labyrinth! It is one of my all-time favorite movies. I can't wait to wear this to my work meeting tomorrow and get jelly looks from my coworkers.

And the mug? The boyfriend is allergic to cats. I used to specifically pick older black cats from pounds to give them forever homes. My last one had to be let go due to extreme medical problems (she had come from a hoarding home originally so she had some hard issues). After Myra passed, I haven't been able to get any more kitties. Poor SO gets all itchy and stuffy (with no help from meds) and since we now live together...well, I yearn for kitties from afar. Santa gave me a wonderful gift of a mug that not only acts as a tea steeper but also a little black cat to go on my desk.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Happy Yule! Happy Solstice! Happy Chanukah! Happy HOLIDAYS!! Cause there is like..14(?) holidays around this time? Happy EVERYTHING TO ALL OF YOU.
