My first Christmas swap from postcrossing forum. Lacey sent me a silver Santa ornament, two map cards, a cute pen and a set of notecards! Thank you Lacey!

Illinois is the most populous and demographically diverse Midwestern state and the fifth most populous state in the nation. Illinois is an important transportation hub; the Port of Chicago connects the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River via the Illinois River. Three U.S. Presidents have been elected while they were living in Illinois — Abraham Lincoln, Ulysses S. Grant, and Barack Obama. However, the only US President actually born in Illinois was Ronald Reagan.
