My Santa, /u/simmiedude, sent me the cutest little notebook and pen! He messaged me right after matching was completed, asking what animal I thought I would be. It took me a couple of days to write back to him, but, when I did, I sent him a lengthy response, explaining why I felt I have earned the spirit animal of a raccoon.

Not long after I sent the response back, I got a notification that my gift had shipped! I was worried that my reply came too late, but was so excited to see what surprise was coming my way. I checked tracking religiously, and rushed home as quick as I could the day I got the "delivered" notification to my phone. I walked in the door, and looked eagerly at my husband. "Eh? Eh?" I managed to get out, gesturing to the mail. "Did anything come in the mail for me today?" My confused husband pointed to a couple of things, junk mail.

I kept in good contact with my Santa, as we worked closely with him to make sure a claim would be filed with enough time to make sure it wasn't just a small delay.

Amazon was wonderful, and shipped out another set of the gifts, with overnight shipping. So, today when I got home, I was very excited to see a box waiting for me! I tore it open, and a little raccoon notebook peeked out at me! Next to it was a long, thin box. I opened it, and inside was a beautiful pen! I was so happy to have such a cute little notebook.

My husband got home, and I started doing some cleaning. He called for me, and told me I got a package. I told him that I'd get around to it, because I was busy (and, really, I had already opened what I was excited to open at the moment). When I took my gloves off, ready to see what came, I was shocked when I opened the box to find another raccoon notebook and pen! Both packages had come on the very same day, almost a week apart.

I showed them to my husband, and told him that I was going to send my Santa an email to tell him what was going on, but that my first instincts were to sign up as a Pens/Stationery rematch, since I got two gifts this round. I wanted to pay it forward, and make someone else happy when they might not have had good luck with the exchanges. Santa agreed that it sounded like a good plan, and so here I am! Double gifted and ready to share the love.

Thank you, /u/simmiedude! I'm sure you're not surprised that I've rambled on about what was supposed to be such a simple "thank you" post :)
