Secret Santa

So Saturday Night Mum and I are sitting home.
We had been watching Movies all Day.
We had watched Jurassic Park the night before and then when I woke and was cooking I put in Lost World and then Jurassic Park III, then we watched Get Smart and were watching Christmas Vacation.
We were both doing our own things, I was crocheting, mum was looking over house details, when she got a text from an unknown number.
it said "There are presents in your driveway, get some help to bring them in!" (I can't remember it exactly)
I blow it off as a spam text, thought that did not make much sense to me- just out of curiosity I peek out our front window to the driveway, and there was a plastic tub of presents! I do a double take, I then tell mum that I'm going to check it out- I walk out and sure enough the plastic tub is still there- I hadn't imagined it!

I stand for a moment a bit dumbfounded, and then proceed to pick up the presents- I falter- it was heavy! I look around surreptitiously I spot a white van on the corner- there is no one in it (or they were just ducking!) It is the only car parked on the street. I walk inside and present the presents to Mum- she's a bit shocked too. I go to look out the window again, the white van is gone. (;])
We look at the two presents on top of the plastic tub- they are addressed to us individually, with instructions "Open on Christmas" We look at the tub
An envelope is taped to it- with the words "Merry Christmas! To: Janine and Bethany- Open me First!"
The card inside says
"Presenting...
The 12 Days of Christmas.
On each day you will find a number and a small roll of paper.
The number indicated which day you open the gift.
On that day unroll the paper, read the prose,
then open your gift!
Begins today!
Merry Christmas!"


It was pretty cool.
We opened our first Present- It was a Yankee Candle, Red Apple Wreath, it smells amazing.
So we are really Excited!
I'll post pictures and the prose.
The presents are wrapped beautifully! and the little cards with the numbers & prose are equally exquisite.
Yesterday it was two scarfs (which was amusing because I was currently crocheting a scarf!) We wore them to church, and they kept us stylish and warm!
Today it was three Christmas books- which was wonderful because Mum and I had just been lamenting over the fact that our Christmas books are packed away in storage with all the commotion going on with our house.

Anyway we want to thank our secret Santa, it was a lovely surprise, and so nice- especially since getting around is harder than usual.
So

Thank You!!
