When my wife said a large heavy box with my reddit username showed up the other day, I knew I had to rush home and open it! I was greeted with a very cool letter letting me know I am a tough match (sorry!) and that I was going to get a little taste of San Diego, where my Santa was from.

The first little box contained an awesome succulent! I have had some success with these hardy plants before, so I hope to keep this one healthy. Gives me a nice bit of green during a cold, grey winter!

The next three large gift boxes where surprisingly heavy... I opened up the first and was excited to realize what was within -- BEER! You can't go wrong with gifting me local beer!

Inside was Alpine Duet (which I am drinking as I write this!), AleSmith Speedway Stout (cool bottle!), and a great limited release Enjoy By 12/25 from Stone (saving that one for Christmas!).

Despite a challenging match, my Santa ROCKED. Thank you !!! Happy Holidays !
