2017 Holiday Gift Exchange Thank you thread

[deineira]

Hi,
I received my package today, Santa! I'm sorry for the late response. I was traveling for two weeks, and your package came while I was out of town. I received it today, but I will open it later. I had it shipped to my office, so I'll open it when I'm home tonight and I can really savor the experience. Sorry for the stress this caused you wondering where my package was.

I've also purchased a couple of dishware items from the Finnstyle website. The Ittala Tanssi (Dance) cups/saucers were calling my name.

Have a good December month with family and friends!

Best 2018 year to you!!!

Hyvaa joulua Pam!

I have loved the gift exchange every year, but finding out that you have a connection to Finland has made it even more special.

I'm so happy to hear that you've enjoied the chocolates, and I hope you love the Iittala cups and saucers too.

Merry Christmas to you and your family and have a wonderful 2018!

Hello Santa Linda!
I received and opened my package, finally! Sorry again for the delay as I was out of town when my box arrived.

I received some wonderful gifts from my secret Santa! Two DVDs that have been on my wish list for a while - the new Amy Bento and Susan Chung Rapid Fire 2. I love handmade toiletries, and the handmade soap and balm that you gave me are wonderful! I'm really excited to use them.

Thank you for the towel-that will definitely come in handy during my sweaty workouts, and my bike rides this summer in the sweltering Virginia heat. ;-) There was also a lovely Christmas ornament which looks beautiful on my tree, some delicious dark Ghiradelli chocolate and some truffles, which are my favorite.

Thank you so much for the lovely gifts! I so look forward to the gift exchange and it's nice to get a package in the mail around the holidays. The handmade and thoughtful gifts are lovely and I will cherish them. I am also excited to do those workouts this week.

Thank you, Santa!

It's been a fun year with so many wonderfully generous people. I give from my heart and am so grateful for my gifts. Most of all, grateful for new friends!

Thank you so much to my Secret Santa Eva (deineira) for all the wonderful gifts!

I received 3 DVDs that I really wanted: Leslie's 5 Mega Miles, Jessica Smith's 6 Mile Mix and Jari Love's Get Ripped Express. I already did the first 2 Miles from Leslie's Mega Miles and it was so nice to have something new from her.

I also received dried mango slices that I really love, and dark chocolate maple caramel, that I'm really going to savor.

Thank you again and I hope you have a wonderful holiday season and a happy new year!

Thank you so much to my Secret Santa, Rhonda. Even though I'm a terrible wrapper, I love it when my Santas wrap everything. I got a 3 box pack of Bigelow Earl Grey tea, one of my absolute favorites, a bag of Ghirardelli dark chocolate minis, Ellen Fusion Floor, and Ruah Release (finally! ) . That Ruah Release was getting hard to find. I haven't really had time to obsess about Dvds like I used to so I'm so thankful this in in my collection now.

Thank you so much. I love everything!

Isn't that always the case? I loathe wrapping - but love getting wrapped gifts. But when I'm doing it, I always think, "Does it matter? They're just going to unwrap it anyway..." to justify not doing it!

Anyway, Merry Christmas everyone! I finally unwrapped the last part of my gift from fitjen - the DVDs! Love that they were wrapped and I got to stretch out the anticipation!

Here's what she sent:

Chalene - PiYo! I'm so looking forward to doing this set --- I've watched the ads before and it looks like a lot of fun --- Thanks Jen!!

Also, Chalene - TurboJam Live - Cardio party remix - Chalene is so much fun - I'm looking forward to jamming it out with her.

And Chalene - TurboJam - 3T - Totally Tubular Turbo - Yikes, turbo jam with a tube --- it looks hard....

And, last, Amy Dixon's Breathless Body HIIT it big V.3 --- I must be a masochist --- but I always tell my yoga students that the poses they don't like and are not good at are the ones they need to work on --- I think my dread of this means I need to do it soon!

Thanks Jen --- This is fantastic ---- I received only 2 other workouts from all my family and friends --- so this makes a vidiot's christmas!

Hope you are enjoying a great holiday season!
Anne.
