My rematch secret Santa has been amazing. I just...I'm frankly a bit speechless.

I was out of town from the last day for shipping (the 20th) until the day after Christmas, so I didn't have a lot of time to worry about whether I had received a gift or not. I really like buying things for other people. I have fun trying to find things that they'll love, and so I tend not to be too focused on what I'm getting in return. That being said, I can't lie and say I wasn't a little bummed when I saw my original secret Santa never shipped a gift.

Not long after that, I got a message from my rematch secret Santa, asking me about what my husband and I like to do for fun, whether we like playing board games (we do. Especially with wine), and if I have the full series of Firefly and the movie Serenity (I'm a big Firefly fan). On top of that, I got another message just yesterday saying there was a second gift on the way because my SS found something they just couldn't help but get for me! My rematch SS was so kind and so enthusiastic (my SS even sent me some wonderful thoughts and prayers after I told them about some hardships I have been going through! So sweet!) that I could have received a rock, and I would have been thrilled just to have felt so cared for by someone.

I have participated in a couple other exchanges, and aside from my original SS in this exchange not following through, I've had good experiences. This is, by far, the best experience yet. I wish I could do more to thank my rematch SS, and I can only hope their secret Santa was as kind to them as they've been to me.

My husband and I are gonna go drink some wine and play this card game, now. I'll post pictures of the other gift when it arrives!

To my rematch secret Santa: with all my heart, for all your generosity, thank you.
