If I were to pick one word to describe Arbitrary Day, it would be WOW! Santa delivered some great gifts that will be enjoyed by the whole family.

I have some young children, and the older one was of course enamored with the minions from Despicable Me from the moment she saw them. Two small plush minions arrived, and already traveled to the store with them. Great gift!

Santa must have been thinking of how busy said children keep their parents, and included the "No Time To Cook! Book" full of simple, quick recipes. I've only glanced through but I know this will get some good use!

Finally, Santa really went above and beyond by supporting a big interest of mine, and something I've had fun teaching my kids. A telescope! Holy cow, I could not believe it when I opened it up. My daughter is already describing how we're going to look at the moon with the telescope (sadly haven't had the chance yet). So far it has very successfully been used to spot some toys from across the house.

I'm overwhelmed at Santa's generosity. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
