THANK YOU SANTA from Maine, your interesting-looking package from across the Pond arrived last night, laboriously hauled up the stairs to my second floor apartment by a profusely sweating mailman :-))

I haven't opened it, and I won't do so until Christmas, although I must admit I was sorely tempted to peek through the crack in the outer paper that the mail people had equipped it with. The box within is in fine fettle, though, so it wouldn't help much, anyway..

The label on the package states that it contains i.a. a CD, and I can barely wait for that - I sincerely hope it's family-related, somehow (as in "Grumpy Old Git", possibly, unless you do your own stuff as well) :-))

For now I shall let you remain nameless, Santa Dear, so as not to help those still guessing too much by eliminating your name from the list of possible candidates.

I wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from this side of the Big Pond. I hope to see you all again sometime in the not too distant future :-)

Best wishes,

Bente
