I always like to mention in my likes/dislikes that I'd love to get something homemade if my Santa happened to be crafty or artistic, because I am SO not either of those things. I got my Tolkien gift today and was seriously tickled pink. My Santa painted Legolas, my favourite character from the LoTR movies. It was the sweet note on the back that made me smile from ear to ear. This is what it's all about in my opinion, sending out a piece of yourself to a stranger hoping to brighten their life a little bit.

Thanks Varda! You totally just made my day :)
