So first off, this year's holiday wasn't the best for me. I was experiencing a bout of depression and didn't have much to keep my mind occupied. Truthfully, I spent most of this week sitting in my house. Additionally, the power went out for most of my province, so I didn't have much to do. So you can imagine my surprise when I left my house and found that I had mail waiting for me! "Could it be?" I wondered. My excitement was already brimming at this point.

'Lo and behold, my holiday card exchange had finally arrived. Even with the ice storm and the power issues, my mail man or woman was able to deliver it to me. So to whoever delivered my card, thank you!

A little background - on the reddit account that I used to sign up for redditgifts, I had mentioned that I was studying Business while studying Japanese on the side. However, I never imagined my secret santa to go to the trouble of having a message written for me in Japanese. I also mentioned that I am big fan of /r/supershibe. Judge me if you will, but having doge speak on my envelope was quite cool to see. No one ever writes to me in doge.

As corny as it sounds, it really is the little things that count. Just a simple card had me smiling a really big smile on the bus on my way out, and I really appreciate all the effort my secret santa and her friend went through.

I never got your username, and I don't want to risk publicizing your names, but thank you G and K for the lovely card.

Expect a return, thank-you card! Soon.
