Precursor: This is what I like to call a Bragass post!
I was honestly not expecting much of anything this year, considering we did Secret Santa with the family (so I expected something from one family member, I suppose), and considering the fact that my tattoo is turning out to be obscenely expensive so that's a Christmas gift to me, I was happy to maybe get something small from the hubs under the tree.
Well, I was beyond surprised at getting as much as I did!
My secret Santa was my DAD!!! And he did awesome... normally, my mom is in charge of all the shopping and wrapping and my dad takes credit for it with her, but this time, he was on his own, and I am sure he felt out of his element shopping for girlie things because there is nothing we really like in common. He is a super-guy's-guy-manly-dude-meister! Luckily, I had everyone fill out a little survey of things they like, sizes, fave colors, stores, etc... so it seemed like Secret Santa was a success for the other's as well!

It's definitely not at all about presents, but I feel so lucky and so blessed to be in a family that cares so much to spend time together and enjoy each others company and just has fun giving and getting gifts. I wish I could buy each of them thousands of dollars worth of stuff, but spending the time we did was worth millions more than that!
Did you get anything awesome for Christmas?!
