Santa, you glorious fat bearded man, you! You somehow read my mind. I mean, I know that you see me when I'm sleeping and know when I'm awake, but this is on a whole other level. Let me give you beautiful people some background. When I was younger, I was obsessed with books. I would read a book a day. My parents literally took away books to punish me sometimes. Anyway, I lost that passion for reading over the years. I've been having a rough time in my first semester of college, and I feel like now, more than ever, I need to reconnect with my love of reading.

So, with that out of the way, here's why Santa can read my mind. I've been reading The Hobbit, which I really oughta finish soon, and thinking about how I need a new nice bookmark to put in whatever I'm reading. Santa delivered big time with an awesome Ravenclaw bookmark of pretty nice quality. But.... what's a bookmark without a book?

Once again, Santa delivered, and read my mind while they were at it. I was quite literally thinking of the book I was gifted, The Way of Kings, mere minutes before I opened my gift. I had purchased a very small version of the book a while back, on a recommendation from someone I knew, but never read it. I saw it in a book store a few days ago and I felt pretty unhappy with how I'd lost touch with my love of reading. I lost the original book, but now I've got a nice large version that I'll hopefully actually read! I've only heard good things, and it's apparently Santa's favorite book.... so it's got to be good, right?

The card Santa sent is really nice as well. I guess some nice calligraphy and a signature from Santa goes a long way.

The final part of my gift is coming tomorrow, and Santa has said that it's the core of the gift. Apparently the rest are just happy extras. I am so excited, and will update you all when I get it.

Needless to say, I've had a positive first experience with Reddit Gifts. I'll be the first in line for the next batch!
