So the first half of my gift was great. A vinyl copy of the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack. It's been played at least once daily since receiving it. In fact I'm listening to it right now. I must have mentioned how the "Awesome Mix #1" from that movie is amazing, because it really is.

Now the other gift... quick back-story. Last summer I had my gallbladder removed due to gallstones. There were a number of complications with the surgery, and I was hospitalized for over a week. I had a bunch of friends to keep me in good spirits, and while some were visiting one time, we snapped a picture as a joke. This is the picture: http://i.imgur.com/uWC3lkt.jpg

When I was bored one night, I posted it to /r/photoshopbattles and went to bed. The next morning, I had a bunch of text messages on my phone, and immediately checked the post. This is the post: http://www.reddit.com/r/photoshopbattles/comments/25lpo7/pondering_my_existence_postsurgery_last_summer/

Some amazing shops were made, which I showed to pretty much anyone who I thought would find it funny. Evidently, my SS thought it was pretty funny as well, because he took the best of the pictures and turned them into a calendar for me :)

Apart from being a joke, it really represented keeping a positive outlook throughout the entire process (which extended for months of recovery past the surgery). This gift is therefore extremely touching and I can't think of anything I would have rather received this Christmas. Thank you so much SS!
