Well, Christmas has come and gone! The other day I got a message from u/brewtality, my match in the Holiday Cards 2013 exchange. He's had pretty crazy time in the past couple of months, and wanted to apologize for not having the time to send out a card. No big deal, I thought - real life comes first, and stuff comes up! It was really nice of him to get in touch with me to let me know what had happened. I wrote him back, thanked him for letting me know, and provided my email address - he'd asked.

And today, something showed up in my email inbox.

A $25.00 Amazon gift card!!! :o I couldn't believe it!! This guy signed up for a holiday card exchange, and when his life got overwhelming, he still found the time and the funds to send me something far above and beyond what he'd signed up to do. Isn't that sweet? :D I'm not sure what I'm going to spend it on yet, but I'm going to have fun browsing Amazon, that's for sure!

Thank you again, brewtality, for doing this. You're incredibly sweet and I hope you had a great holiday with your family, and that 2014 treats you well!
