Oh my God! I can’t believe I’m so lucky to have such an amazing and thoughtful Santa!!

So let's start from the very beginning. When I unwrapped the package I noticed an envelope that said “Open me after the box!”. So I put it aside and dug into the box. The first thing that I saw was some folded magazine which turned out to be a guide to Scotland (my Santa’s from there) and it was in Russian! Actually it is a nice surprise to get something in my native language from Scotland! :) Along with the guide I found 5 postcards with Scottish views. I told my Santa that I exchange postcards with people from all over the world so he nailed it! All the postcards are very-very beautiful, I love them! :) I’ve always wanted to visit Scotland but now my Santa made me even more excited about this country!!

Besides, I received many little things that made my day! Here they are:

1) some Scottish confectioneries and a pack of shortbreads. Can’t wait to try them all, they look delicious!!

2) 3 pens. I told my Santa that I’ve been looking for good pens to write my postcards and he fulfilled my wishes :3

3) mini easel and canvas. It looks so nice! I used to paint in oils several years ago and now I feel that I should start again ;)

4) a Scottish cookbook. I love cooking so that’s a perfect gift for me! I’ve never heard of many of these recipes and I’m very excited to make something from them!

5) a set of UK coins. Santa did a good job to get me all the same year (2014). They make the Royal Coat of Arms together!

6) anddd Scottish whiskey!! When I finally opened the envelope with a note I read this: “Being from Russia you MUST like vodka. I know it’s a stereotype haha but you must. In Scotland we have whiskey, enjoy with ice or neat.” :D Actually I don’t like vodka very much (I think there’s something wrong with me :D) but I do like trying alcohol from abroad! So this is a treasure for me, I’ll keep it for some special occasion :3

Thank you so much for all your gifts and a sweet note!! It’s a real pleasure being a happy giftee of such an awesome Santa!! ;) I couldn’t ask for more! Priceless exchange!

P.S. You have very beautiful handwriting!
