I'll admit it: I was nervous.

My Secret Santa pulled my info a few times, but it hadn't been marked shipped and they hadn't reached out - but just as I was getting worried today, my girlfriend texted me the good news: SECRET SANTA HAD ARRIVED!

I rushed home after work and we ripped into it, well, sorta, it was VERY well sealed with tape so after a bit of knife work we got into the goodies.

First up: A light up Santa hat, perfect for the season - AND it fit, my head usually doesn't fit in those tiny things!

Second Gift: A fantastic stocking for my cat Sawyer, who my SS helped spoil, even paying attention to make sure the cat on the stocking was also a ginger - well played Santa!

And lastly, the pinnacle of awesome: An Oakland Raiders Scarf.

Now, this was some great detective work - in this terrible Oakland season I failed to mention them in my likes/dislikes (Can you blame me?! They were without a win when we signed up!) - but my Secret Santa dug deep and found out they are indeed my favourite team - and this beautiful new scarf will keep me warm through the dark days ahead for our boys in the Silver and Black.

This was my FIRST Reddit SS and you delivered, thanks SANTA!

ps. You didn't let me know who you are, but thanks for your kindess, feel free to reach out if want to reveal yourself so I can say thank you personally :)

pps. The cat is mine, not a gift!
