My Secret Santa Can Read Minds...

WOW...let's talk about amazing. My Secret Santa can read minds. Somehow she knew I love Reeses and I don't think I ever mentioned that on my blog. I especially enjoy them frozen, so I put the bag she sent right into the freezer after I took this photo.

When I opened the package I knew exactly why she chose the gifts she chose. She definitely did some research on my blog and knew a few things about me.

She knew that I like cats and she sent a cat card with a nice note. (Oh dear...I didn't think to put a note in the package I sent.)

I've mentioned in the past how much we enjoy "hot" food and she sent an adorable jalapeno apron and some bottles of hot sauce. YUM!

In one of my past posts I bemoaned the fact that I do not have a Jewish grandmother to teach me how to cook. I was thrilled with the How To Cook Like A Jewish Grandmother Cookbook. It was perfect and full of great sounding recipes. I can't wait to try some. It will almost be like having a Jewish Bubbe.


And see the cowboy boot? It's now hanging on my Christmas tree. Tucked inside was a Colorado Lottery Ticket. I won $5,000!!!
















Not really, but I did have fun scratching it off and checking to see if I had won. Suzanne had asked on the Secret Santa form if there was something we'd like and I said a lottery ticket. I'll remember my Secret Santa every Christmas because I tucked the ticket back inside the boot before I hung it on the tree. It will be packed away after Christmas with all the ornaments and every year I'll remember my special Santa when I hang it on the tree.

Opening that package really made my day. Thank you so much Secret Santa. I can't wait to find out who you are!

Thank you Secret Santa!

OK...tonight I opened all the packages from my Secret Santa. All I can say is that this Santa really did their homework and obviously did some research on my blog. This person knows me quite well and by now might even know my maiden name, place of birth, and how much my first born weighed. I'm going to make you wait until tomorrow to see what I received. Hopefully, I can clear away some clutter (yes, I'm still working on getting Christmas stuff up) and take some pictures in better light. I was thrilled with everything and can't wait to show you!

Thank you Secret Santa

I ran over to the storage place again to bring back some more containers of Christmas stuff. As I was unloading the car UPS pulled up. I thought that was kind of strange since I hadn't ordered anything from Office Depot, but he handed me the box and left. I continued unloading the car and assumed it must be something for my husband since I didn't recognize the return address. When I got inside I saw it was addressed to me. I was still puzzled, but quickly opened the box. That's when I realized it was from my Secret Santa.



I'm off to run some more errands and will open the packages when I get back. Sophie sure was curious about the contents and I decided I'd better put it up just in case there was a fruit cake in there.

Photos will follow...if not tonight then it will be in the morning when there's better light.

Thank you Secret Santa!

Secret Santa...Update

BINGO! My sincere thanks to the U.S. Postal Service for their assistance in making this top secret delivery.

Secret Santa...Hint #3

It's 60 degrees here and 19 degrees there. I should have sent matches and firewood.

Secret Santa Swap and another hint...

Oh dear...the poor package is used to the warmer temperatures we have here. Is it really 27 degrees and lightly snowing today where it's going? Brrrrrrr!

I know who you are, but you don't know me. I'm not telling...my lips are sealed.

Christmas Swap

I'm participating this year in the Secret Santa swap organized by ColoradoLady. Shhhhh...I've been sworn to secrecy and cannot reveal the person's name. However, I just got home from the post office and her package is on its way.

I thought about driving and delivering it in person, but it would take 18 hours and 12 minutes to get there from here and I really don't have the time. Besides, I have very few winter clothes.

More hints to follow...
