My SS was very generous and sent me four gifts! :) He/she must have read the answers I provided for the gift exchange questionnaire, because all the presents were catered towards my interests and totally AWESOME! This was such a great holiday surprise (especially since I am away from my family this Christmas). My SS sent:

A Daryl Dixon Walking Dead figurine- I LOVE the Walking Dead, and Daryl is my favorite character :) (If Daryl dies, we riot!) A set of Game of Thrones coasters- I also LOVE GoT :) Each coaster has a house's sigil and words on it. My favorite coaster is for House Stark's- it's got a fearsome dire-wolf on it and says, "Winter is Coming". Makes me wish I was in Winterfell instead of sunny San Diego. The book American Gods, by Neil Gaiman. I haven't read this book, but the back sounds really interesting. My SS said he/she thinks I'll like it, based on the other books I listed. I think he/she is probably right :) Going to start reading it tomorrow! A book called "Northern Lights: the Science, Myth, and Wonder of Aurora Borealis" which is full of pictures of the Northern Lights, as well as some really cool information about what causes them and their significance in human history. I've already started to go through it! My SS picked this book because I said that seeing the Northern Lights is something on my bucket list! I think this halfway counts (and it is making me get more psyched about trying to go see them!) MYSTERY GIFT!!?? My SS is from NZ and is sending something from there. It won't arrive until after Christmas, so that is exciting and fun! Now I get a second gift after the holidays :) I will post a picture of that once it arrives.

Thank you SS!!!

EDIT!/ UPDATE! I just received the second package. It was full of cute gifts that are New Zealand themed :) Very cool!
