There are 2 main passions in my life: -Punk music -The LA Dodgers

The first gift to arrive was the knit cap, and I'd never seen one like it. It's cool and different so I was really surprised.

The second gift was kind of a mystery. Our friends at the post office indicated it was to be delivered by some mystery secondary service, making the tracking a dead end. I tried to find out about those services and everything said they were usually things postal carriers couldn't deliver. Except this weighed less than a pound, so why couldn't it be delivered. And it entered the system in Fort Worth, basically next door, and then nothing.

I'd almost given up. My last exchange had a promise of a second gift that never arrived so I was mentally prepared for nothing, and I liked the cap so I almost went ahead and posted it. Then a package arrived (via mail so, WTF USPS?).

Inside was the Amazon giftcard, which is always great, bt the note was what showed thought. Santa had tried to get Dodgers/Rangers tickets (I'm about 4 miles from where the Rangers play) but, sadly, that was this year so there aren't any games next year. The Amazon giftcard was kind of a substitute. And you know what? It is the thought that counts, and I appreciated that most of all.

Now if I could just find Santa's name!
