WELL, I have had to change my post! Good news! My gift was NOT STOLEN! Thank goodness that US customs takes forever!!!!! Today I was reading in bed when I heard a very light knock on my door. I looked out my window and saw the USPS truck was there. I ran to my door and opened it. It was a package wrapped up! And it was very obviously from my secret santa!!!

My secret santa is from the Netherlands. I must say that with my numerous Dutch matches, I am starting to feel a real kinship with them!

Alright, back to the box. I started to unwrap it as I reached for my camera, and something fell out. "OH NO!" I thought, "Something broke!!!" But alas, it was only chocolate. And broken chocolate tastes just as good as regular. It turns out that a few of the gold coins had unwrapped themselves and rattled around in the packaging. It was most likely due to the cold temps.

I took photos, but then I realized I didn't have my memory card in the camera. The photos are on the camera, but I don't have the right cord to move them. So I promptly put the card in and took a photo of the end and the pile of wrapping.

My santa had asked me what I like to eat. I have particular tastes, and so she had to work hard to meet them! There was a lovely card where she wrote (with great penmanship) explaining everything. :-)

I am so happy that I got to take down the placeholder (I didn't want her to be dinged!!!) and put up real photos!!!
