My summer santa reminded me of why I participate in secret santa. I got home late after a busy Monday to a box on my doorstep. The sprinkle tape around the edges should have told me that it wasn't from amazon. I opened it up to find a lovely card and many nicely wrapped gifts. I got: katana bookends - perfect for my love of swords and books, a book on how to talk to my cat about gun safety :P, a cat toy for the cat who doesn't like anything (he looooves it, idk what kind of crack-catnip you put in there but he instantly started playing with that and then acting all proud), and some snacks. Ok so these snacks are apparently some local favorites from Maryland, and I must say they have been wonderful so far. I'm glad that I waited a couple days to post this because that gave me some time to try the popcorn and cookies, still saving the crab chips, The popcorn was wonderfully fresh and not overly sweet, very nice. But those cookies... oh man those cookies are GREAT. A soft semicircle of shortbread topped with rich voluminous chocolate... I'm at a loss as to how to impart how much I like those cookies. They are SERIOUSLY delicious. I am so glad that I participate in secret santa. Reading my giftees post gave me warm fuzzies and then the gift I received was truly outstanding. My cat and I both thank you. Summer santa, you rock.
