You're welcome.  I'm glad you like them! :D  You didn't miss the flat item in the box, did you?

No! It is lovely--I like calendars. I am just overly enthusiastic about warm feet!

I'm going to guess, based on the location on the package, that you are chary?

I am! I'm so glad you like everything!

(But that's not tea! I just re-used the box!)

I have a few more morning chores to take care of before I'm going to let myself open my present!

I'll go second as I'm up early today (despite having to work a night shift tonight :P) - I just opened my gift: some gorgeous-smelling hand polish and hand cream, which, according to the delivery note inside, is from MeShell :).

Thank you for the Secret Santa gift, MeShell :).

Merry Christmas Everyone :D.

Hope you all get lovely Secret Santa gifts :).

Your very welcome. Hoped you liked it. I love Nougat toiletries!

Oh good. I just wanted to make sure it didn't mistakenly go out with the box. :)  I love warm feet too!! When your feet are warm and cozy, all is right with the world. :D

Mine is Jasper Fforde's latest...signed by the author!!!

And, some tasty-looking condiments from Mrs Darlington's.  It's a brand I have never seen down here, so excellent! 

Thank you so much, Jennie.  It's the best Secret Santa gift I've ever had!

:) I'm so glad you like it! Mrs. Darlington's is a local family run business. I am addicted to her lemon curd. And I love Jasper Fforde as well, so I thought you might like the gift! I was hoping you didn't already own it, or if you did, it wasn't signed! :)

Santa!! I have absolutely no idea who you are but I think I love you!! Hotel Chocolat!! YUM!! And two gorgeous tree ornaments. And, best of all, the gorgeous Susan Bradley paper label tape. That is RIGHT up my street!

D'oh, of course! That's a really gorgeous ornament. :) We have no tree on which to put it, but I'll find someplace conspicuous to hang it (trick will be making sure the cats don't notice it!).

Thank you!

I just tried them--delicious!  I'd never heard of cherry curd, but it's really lovely.  I'm going to try it with some cheese. 

I confess, I do have the book, but not signed!  I have a small collection of signed books, and I adore Jasper Fforde, so I was really chuffed!

Sorry, my name isn't Kelly. You may be able to figure it out by process of elimination soon  ;)

YAAAAY!  [smiley=elf.gif]

I received an absolutely gorgeous scarf that I LOVE and a lovely little candle holder with an adorable little tealight that looks like a peppermint! Thank you SO much Beccarose!  ;D

And no worries, the scent of the candle is just right. It's those overpowering giant Yankee Candles that I can't have! Thank you thank you thank you!  :)

Merry Christmas everyone!
