First, I sincerely hope my poor elderly letter carrier didn't injure his back hauling this magnificent beast of a package up to my doorstep, because at nearly 12 POUNDS, I imagine it could do some damage!

Second, I just want to apologize to all the people who I am making jealous by showing off the photo not only of the amazingly thoughtful and huge haul I received (I feel like "that kid" at halloween who brings home ten times as much candy as every other kid on the block), but a FIVE PAGE HANDWRITTEN LETTER as well!! For real, an actual handwritten letter using fancy paper and cursive writing and everything!!

So my Santa clearly went WAAAAAAY above and beyond my wildest hopes and expectations! In her letter she explains why she selected each item, and every single items was incredibly thoughtful. She even included some treats from her last family holiday get together celebrating Chinese New Year!

I am still in awe from opening this gift from the gods, however allow me to itemize for you all the awesomeness I received:

-five page handwritten letter (prompting the title of "Did we just become best friends?!")

-bottle of cherry flavoured coke

-bottle of vanilla flavoured coke

-huge bag of luau BBQ flavoured Hawaiian Chips

-huge lag of Tim's Jalapeño chips

-two bags of Takis mexican taquito chips (will keep a large pitcher of ice water on hand before opening these bad boys... they promise some intense spice!)

-THREE boxes of Girl Scout cookies!!! Thin mints, Samoas, and Tagalongs. I read of these from Americans on reddit and elsewhere, but have never actually had the opportunity to eat these mythical cookies of deliciousness before.

-Blue raspberry pop tarts! (part of a healthy breakfast!)

-Cupcake stuffed Oreos (!!!)

-a gold box of TRUFFLES!!

-Mint M&Ms

-Payday candy bar

-100 Grand candy bar

-King size Zero bar

-King size Whatchamacallit bar

-King size Take5 bar (this is the only item in the whole package I have ever tried before.... I had it once on a trip to NYC and it was pure delciousness!!)

-Moonstruck artisanal milk chocolate with salted toffee bar

-Moonstruck artisanal dark chocolate bar

-Botan Rice Candy (very curious about the taste!)

-wrapped Chinese New Years Candies.

So.... THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU my dear sweet Santa!!!

I could write much more praising the amazing generosity and assortment of gifts I received, but instead I am now electing to be selfish and start ripping open these bags of delicious magic and enjoy the perfect Saturday morning!!!
