I had a good feeling about my Secret Santa right from the start. I received a message shortly after they retrieved my information, and from then on eagerly looked forward to my gift!

Well today, I arrived home to a package! Upon opening the box, I found 5 smaller boxes inside. MOAR presents! After staging a few glamour shots in front of the Christmas tree, it was time to unwrap some gifts. I started with the smallest of the packages, which to my excitement was a San Francisco 49ers dog bandanna! It took some coaxing, but after a few treats I was able to get my English Mastiff Zeus to model it... very sharp! Next, I moved on to the cubes. Cubes? How exciting! Upon opening the boxes I found matching Glencairn glasses, perfect for enjoying a nice bourbon after a long day of work. Oh... I can assure you that these will be used regularly!

Next, I opened the small rectangular box, which had some heft to it. Lo and behold, sipping stones! These soapstones are the perfect complement to the Glencairns, cooling your whiskey without watering it down. My Secret Santa clearly did their research, and I am thankful!

On to the last present, which turned out to be a pint glass, etched with the head of an English Mastiff! While I loved it, I don't think Zeus saw the resemblance. :)

So with that, thank you to my Secret Santa, whoever you may be! This exchange definitely surpassed my expectations... Happy Holidays to you!
