I signed up for this secret Santa on behalf of my 5-year-old daughter. This year things have been tough and of the few gifts she has under the tree, most have been second hand or given by the few relatives she has. I signed up mostly to show her that gifting to people is more special than receiving gifts. She helped me with choosing items for our pick and enjoyed that and that was good enough. I hoped however for her to also just have a surprise of something in the end though. Instead, I'm left speechless by the heart of another person who went well beyond what I had hoped for. In the package was not only the biggest paw patrol ship I think I've ever seen but also figures for it and cuddly toys (all of which my daughter is huge on). The unicorn is actually trapped in the ship box for now. She is just going to be blown away. Our Santa thoughtfully also included a floor puzzle for us both to make together. You have no idea how much this means to both of us. We enjoy things together but to have something we can make together is a big thing.

There was also kettle corn (which I actually don't know what is), spicy beef jerky (which I'm googling how to eat right now), timtams (which thanks to comedian Adam Hills I thought was a type of mint), and hot sauce, Damn I love me some spicy hot sauce. There are also some of the best looking socks ever. Here in Denmark, we have this thing called hygge socks which are basically wooly socks and I live in them.

As said though I'm speechless. I never imagined anyone going out of their way for us. The letter alone inside had me crying and I can't wait to see my daughter's face on Christmas day when she unwraps these gifts. You have made our Christmas so much more special and I just wish I could thank you in some other way. Thank you so much. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you
