Lany, I love you so much. Thank you for organizing this. I said last year that my SS gift was the only one I received last year. My son was institutionalized over Christmas and it was the only year in recorded memory that we didn't throw our party on Christmas Eve. I didn't even get a tree.

I was in tears getting my gift from the Lovely Robin of House Hill. I have been wearing the perfume she sent all summer as it is the perfect scent for me in hot, sweaty weather. The kind words and the touch from a wonderful friend I have not yet met meant the world to me. Thank you Lany for making my Christmas bearable. Thank you Secret Santa for your kindness and generosity.
