In the past few weeks, I was out of town on an supremely tiring business trip which was then suddenly followed by the death of my grandfather. When I returned home finally, exhausted and overwhelmed, discovering the present from my secret santa brought in my holiday cheer!

There are many things that i love about my gift so please allow me to explain:

my SS is from Norway, and despite the astronomical import and tax fees, s/he is still willing to participate! very cool, santa

I love sons of anarchy. I was sobbing at the end and it inspired me to pursue my love of motorcycles and get my license :D

-I certainly didn't specify, and not sure how my SS managed to find out that I ALSO have a mug collection! excellent stalking skills santa!

-Santa also taught me a lesson. I was very vague in my profile because I wanted to highlight the fact that I want something of interest to my santa's interests and culture, for I love to experience new things. However, what I learned in my experience of this exchange is that the best part of it all IS the giving process... the search for the perfect present in attempt to make the giftee happy! In the future, I will put more effort to completing the profile as much as I can to help santa out.

So SS, I apologize if my insufficient profile took that away from you, but i want you to know that i LOVE this mug and it's going right in my collection :)

Thank you so much!!!
