Hey there, Secret Santa! Your package arrived today. I opened it, since it said "Amazon.com" on the box and I sometimes order stuff from them. (Obviously didn't check the return address too carefully.)

Howevuh, it was a big Christmas stocking, loaded for bear with candy, a plastic ducky, a wonderful-looking CD of sea chanteys by The Boarding Party on the Paton's label, and a book of Maryland folklore.

Thank you very much, Secret Santa. I will enjoy everything to the full, the sea music and the book, the candy, the duck, the Christmas kleenex--the works. The stocking is hanging from the mantel right now, and will do so every year from now on.
