First up, this nostalgic pony bead Santa and kit, a fun surprise from Lisa. I'd admired her daughter's Santa a couple weeks ago – now, lo and behold, I not only have one of my own, I can make one, too. Thank you, Lisa! (No one knows about my secret love of pony beads.)
Also,
my Ravelry Secret Santa package arrived from blogless Máirín in Ireland: Colinette Jitterbug, a sweet card and Santa, Vichy lotion, and a candy cane. Thank you, Máirín! In case you didn't know, Jitterbug is highly prized in the U.S. – I suspect a fair number of knitters can identify the colorway* at a glance.
This was my first Ravelry exchange. I didn't much care for the third-party swap engine that was used, but the Ravelry forum added a terrific dimension to the swap. Thanks to Patita and Flourish for organizing and especially for their swift resolution of glitches.
*It's 72, Tapis.

Nice presents! I'm betting that Kim knew that colorway for sure :)
Hooray for great packages in December! Nice haul of stuff too. I've never played "Name that Colorway" Jitterbug from a photo before, but my guess is Fuchsia. If I saw it in person, I'd know for sure. I love playing "Name that Colorway!"
