I was notified that my gift had been shipped quite early on, way before the deadline. So when I hadn't received it and got the Reddit reminder to post about it I started to worry that the postal service had messed up and misdelivered or lost it.

But lo, when I returned from work yesterday there was a big parcel awaiting me!

And inside, a well wrapped box and a postcard from my Santa's country of the Czech Republic.

Within the pretty wrappings lay the best present, for my Santa had noted my profile well when I mentioned playing Lego with my kids, because I love it and just LOOK what I got! An excellent Creator set, complete with light brick. I'm so excited to build this because I am a big kid, and it's a super cool set and I feel very indulged and treated.

Thank you so much Secret Reddit Santa, whoever you are! This was my first time taking part and I never thought I would be so lucky.
