I got a knock on my door at like 5am this morning. a big brown package.

i wasnt sure who it was from because my original santa never sent anything and it wasnt until my rematcher marked as sent that my original did the same.

then i noticed the words rematch on the package.

Firstly the shirt. Its for the game DOTA2. but its styled like Brock Lesnars shirt from wrestling. Eat Sleep Conquer Repeat. not sure if Lesnar was original with this design or it was from somewhere else.

Next is the South Park calendar. the only flaw about this isnt really a flaw its just i dont know how to hang it. theres a little metal loop on the back then theres a hole on the top of each page. so im a little unsure how to hang it lol.

Finally is the 2 books. A quiz book on everything middle earth. and Tolkiens biography. Ive only had a brief look in the quiz book and everything i thought i knew about middle earth is like nothing :D

I was a little scared. I didnt ask for much in my note to santa. i put that i like south park and lord of the rings. i was scared that i would have gotten something i already had. i own pretty much everything south park from plushies and snuggies to talking watches and pitchers. Tolkiens stuff i have 3 different copies of the hobbit and lotr. one of the copies being a valuable anniversary edition. got all the dvds and audio books. even started collecting the 12 volumes of middle earth. and other tales from middle earth.

so i was scared they would have gotten me something i had and i would have felt bad. but they didnt. i dont know anyone nerdy enough to have a go with my quiz book yet. and ill wear my shirt until it literally falls apart. ill even keep the calendar after 2017 because south park is a big part of my life.

i truly didnt think i would get anything from this. after the horrid year ive had.

thank you my secret santa.
