Funny story - I signed up for this not really expecting much, given that I'm from a fairly small, insignificant country. I wasn't going to participate - my giftee was to be left with nothing.

Until I got this message from my Santa saying that I sound cool and that he wants to buy me something. Holy shit, this platform is for real? That's amazing. I couldn't believe such kindness was coming out of snarky, sarcastic Reddit.

My Santa wanted to give me something special in real life but, alas, our lives are both too busy at the moment to arrange such a meeting. Instead, the madman EFT'd me! CASH FOR NOTHING MAN. My friends and family can't believe a stranger from the internet would do something like that. I am of course now getting a gift for my giftee, but it unfortunately may only arrive after the 15th :(.

I'm hugely grateful, thank you so much u/cronik_za. I'll definitely be back next year!

Happy holidays, Reddit. :)
