Wow. I don't even know where to begin.

I knew Santa was up to something because she kept asking me detailed questions over the past few weeks about the types of games we play. However, nothing could prepare me for the 10 lb box waiting for me at my front door.

It truly was like Christmas all over again, except each time I pulled a game out of the packaging, another present was waiting to be opened.

I told Santa that I really wanted to have board games that I could play with my girlfriend, who doesn't really enjoy them as much as I do. So Santa shared with me Ticket to Ride, one of her favorite gateway games.

I told Santa that we already enjoy playing Dixit with my girlfriend's non-gamer friends, so it was pretty awesome for Santa to share the Dixit Odyssey expansion with us.

But Santa didn't stop there - she got us two other games that look really interesting that I've never played before: Warehouse 51 and Lost Legacy: Third Chronicle. Really eager to find some friends and see what these are all about.

Finally, Santa got us a classic game - Clue, except this one is the Big Bang Theory version. It's actually pretty funny that she got us this because Santa went through all this effort to figure out our interests, but I think she got us confused with another giftee because I never mentioned Big Bang Theory anywhere; but it's still pretty awesome to have this fun variant.

Thanks so much, Santa, you went waaay above and beyond. Wishing great things for you and definitely paying it forward!
