When I woke up this morning I checked the shipment tracking and got excited. It said "Invitation to pick up the package sent to the addressee". And then the disappointment came. I checked my mailbox and it wasn't there yet. I thought about it and decided it's worth a shot trying to collect the package without invitation. Thankfully I live in a small town so they didn't have a problem with me doing that. Just took them a little longer for them to find my package without the storage number.

Then the second part of excitement struck. The package was too big to fit through the post offices window so the postal worker had to go around and open the door. Wow. The package was big and heavy. 3260g to be exact.

I had to run to catch my train. While in it I started examining the package from all of the sides and noticed awesome hand drawn instructions. Fragile. This side up. Cut here! A lone sticker of a gift bag.

I noticed there was some text under the sticker and peeled it back a bit. "780 10/12". My excitement turned into confusion, but I was even more eager to open the package now. But that had to wait till I get something sharp. I knew I had some scissors in the office so all I could do was sit in the train with this huge box in my lap.

Finally when in office I grabbed my scissors and went for it. That in itself wasn't an easy task. They are not very sharp and got stuck at one point, but after some wiggling the package was open.

I felt like I struck gold. I stepped back and took a breath and decided I will do the polite thing and see if there's a card or anything. And there was. It just said "Turn me on". I thought it was very weird and started thinking. Maybe I've made some weird comment in the past? Then it hit me. I'm dumb and overthinking it. There was a small battery box in the box with a switch. I flipped it and the package lit up in a nice Christmassy glow. It was beautiful.

I started rummaging through the box and all I could think about was that when I sent out the package postal workers asked me if it had any drugs, liquids, batteries, flammable/explosive materials in it. They even asked me to show what's in it to verify it. I guess I might just look suspicious, but I'm still surprised my secret santa managed to sneak a package violating all of the rules past them. If you did that deliberately -- it was WORTH IT! Thank you very much!

Anyways TL;DR, here's what's in it:

Labietis -- Aroniju Ragana (Berry Ale)

Labietis -- Pļava (Herbal Blonde Ale)

Latgales -- Melnā Pērle (Dark Lager?)

Confetti Poppers

10x 200mg Ibuprofen

A lot of loose candy

Bunch of sweet stickers

Portable, battery powered fairy lights

Amazing!
