Whew! I'm relieved. I started to get worried.

It just arrived yesterday, I think, and I picked it up from the post office this morning.

Also, fun trivia fact: the letter was written during my Intro. to Quantitative Research Methods class.

Oooh.

I might have done some things with it, why yes.

And you dug pretty far back! Nicely done.

I'm really, really glad you got your gift and liked it, P-C. I had hellish and hectic 48 hours and it's the first time I have more than 5 minutes to sit next to the computer while not-studying, and reading your post made my day.

Yay!

Tell me what you think of the chocolate, and the books!

I will! I'm definitely excited to read the books. I'll probably read Global Frequency after I finish my zombie books since it won't take too long, but I may save the other one for later. As for the chocolate, I have to admit I'm not a white chocolate fan, but I'll give the Snowies a try because I do like pistachios. I love the little tins, though! I'll be keeping those.

I didn't get mine either, but I'm giving it at least until the end of the month before popping here and ask that. I mean, my gift took a long while to get there, so I thought giving it at least a month extra.

Heh. Just yesterday I was wondering whether I should be concerned that I hadn't received a package yet, and then boom.

You know, reading the "holy shit, I got a package from ISRAEL!" is one of the best things in this board's secret santa, for me, and one of the best causes to participate in it. I like surprising people like that.

Hee. The little card said it was from you, so I was spoiled for that, but it was still something else to see the package and really grok that it was sent FROM ISRAEL. So cool!

I was mostly thinking about it because I was sad that it was Epiphany and I needed to take down my lights and cute little tabletop tree.

"Good Lord, they've got post offices and internet, amid the desert and the camels and the nuclear energy facility! Who knew?".

You don't know what you're missing. IJS.

There is a whole wide world outside the United States! It's nuts!

It's not even chocolate!

Mmm, okay, this is actually quite good. Creamy and pistachio-y.

Mmm, the other chocolate one is good too. Thank you!

...Man, they're really good.

I was sad that it was Epiphany and I needed to take down my lights and cute little tabletop tree.

I think of the lights as winter decoration. Just one way to help fight off the cold and dreary until the days get longer and green things start growing again.

I don't blame you. Your country is ridiculously huge.

Mine is an evil laugh, and a seekrit agenda: to get Max Brenner to as many people I love around the world as fast as I can. Now eat!

It's easy to forget that we could fit, like, all of Europe in here. What the hell.

I will! Between these and the Danish chocolates I picked up in Solvang, Ghirardelli is looking pretty mediocre in comparison.

I was thinking of leaving the window lights for a bit, but I'm pretty strict with putting away the crèche and tree once the twelve days of Christmas are up.

Shir we have Max in NY. Before he opened his stores here, Nilly helped me get things ordered from him for my ex-companie's office in (forgive the spelling) Herzigolia.

Ay, there's the rub: there are different menus for different countries. They claim foreigners have other culinary preferences. I claim that we're all human beings with taste buds, and they're just keeping the good stuff at home.
