Even the Glumster of Grim (me) experienced some Christmas cheer. That was greatly enhanced when I received a package from my Christmas Around The World secret swap pal.

Dorothea is the wonderful person who was meant to spoil me. And spoil me she did.

It is so touching that someone I don’t even know carefully selected gifts for me and
sent them all the way from Germany. It is hard to believe they are really for me!

I adore the little wooden ornaments and the darling kitten chocolates, the scented candle, the gummy bears and card! I am looking forward to knitting with the pretty Silk Garden Lite yarn and the Addi needles! One of the wrapping papers features a knitting Santa!

Dorothea also printed out the Calorimetry pattern for me and it is protected in a transparent sheet, perfect for the binder of patterns I’ve started.

What is most amazing is the beautiful knitted shawl. The colors are lovely and I can’t wait to wear it! I will treasure it for all time! Dorothea, you’ve really brightened the
end of my year. I cannot thank you enough for your kindness.

At last the package for my Christmas swap pal is off on its jolly way to somewhere else. I tried to get a photo before the cats came to examine everything! I didn’t want them fretting over the little container of their favorite Cosmic Catnip being sent away from them. They have plenty of their own supply! Neither did I want more cat fur sneaking in with the items to be sent. I don’t wish to be that generous; I like to keep it all for myself!

I wrapped everything in holiday penguin paper, and it all fit perfectly in a little box.
