Thanks to my parents for getting my mail for me while I was away, I was beginning to worry that it might not show up. However, then they brought a very nicely wrapped gift with a Snoo on the front and all the family was there, so everyone was asking about it. (Mom and Dad started with "What is Reddit?!")

I opened up the nicely wrapped box to reveal a very gorgeous Christmas Box that said Merry Christmas on the front! My wife immediately claimed it for herself and said it was beautiful! I opened up the box to reveal even more gifts all wrapped up in very nice Christmas wrapping paper. My excitement was at a fever pitch because I was so excited to see what a total stranger would think was a good gift for me! (I had trouble thinking of suggestions for myself to give to family!)

Well, Let me start by saying my Reddit Secret Santa NAILED IT! The first thing I saw was a $10 Starbucks gift card! Perfect because my pregnant wife has been sending me out to get her treats at all hours! Next I unwrapped a box of After Eight mints, which have LONG been a favourite Christmas treat in our family (how did my Secret Santa know!??!) But the best were the next two (TWO!!) gifts! Next I unwrapped Jeremy Clarkson's (of Top Gear Fame) book "What Could Possibly Go Wrong...." Well, let me start by saying I am a HUGE Top Gear fan and I'm INCREDIBLY excited to get started reading this, which I am just about to do!

But lastly, I opened up my last gift, which was the Original Edition of Exploding Kittens! I've been a fan of The Oatmeal for awhile, and had just recently heard about this card game, but hadn't looked into it much yet. Well, my family and I just spent the last 3 hours playing this game and it has been a blast. It was such a fun, new, exciting, and refreshing way to bring the family together on Christmas Eve! I know my brother will be looking to get a copy for himself in the near future!

Secret Santa, if you read this, Thank you so much! This was an incredible surprise at the end of a VERY long month!
