So, this was my first Reddit Secret Santa, and I have to say my Secret Santa was absolutely amazing. I've wanted to do the Secret Santa these past few years, but I always -just- missed the deadline. This year, I set a reminder and signed up the day the exchanges opened. I'm afraid when I saw the questionnaire, I may have panicked a bit. Talking about myself has never been a strength of mine, so that just makes my Secret Santa even more phenomenal.

I'd mentioned to my Santa that I travel a lot for work. I was actually out of town when I received a delivery notification for some packages I'd ordered - I'd no idea my Secret Santa package was waiting in the middle of them.

Gift 1: Chocolate!

Gift 2: I mentioned to my Santa that I'm a lurker in r/Pyrography. I've picked up some tools and played around a bit on some spare wood, but I've never done something I'm not ashamed to show anyone. I can't wait to dig in and learn all kinds of tips and techniques.

Gift 3: Ok, so this one -really- surprised me, an Amazon Echo. I made no mention of wanting one, and there's no way my Santa could have known I'd been eyeing this very thing.

I'm blown away by the kindness and thoughtfulness of my Secret Santa. Please know that I am extremely grateful and pleased beyond measure. Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
