I was in bed with a fever yesterday and didn't pick up my present until today. When I opened my mailbox and saw the key for the package mailboxes, my heart leapt. This was my first Secret Santa ever, and to say I was excited was more than a little underestimating. I tore open the box and saw a cylindrical gift wrapped in Christmas wrapping. So I opened it with much fervor. What did I get?

... a can of spray paint...

What the hell?

I was confused, so I dug around and opened the envelope. Inside was a handmade Sonic the Hedgehog stencil. It was absolutely brilliant. Even though it's around 30 degrees right now, I ran outside and spray painted some newspaper and the back of the very nice letter he wrote me.

So thank you, Thenewguy729, you have made my holiday season. I couldn't be more thrilled with my gift.
