When the matches first came up, my Santa contacted me immediately, telling me straight up that my gift had already been ordered and would be on it's way as soon as he had it in his hands. I tried really hard not to get overly excited, knowing I would have to wait a while.

I didn't even have to wait that long before the gift had been marked as shipped, and finally it would be here soon, or so I thought, and I'd check the shipping number every now and then. For some reason it ended up getting stuck in Quebec for a very long time, as in so long that I was starting to get worried, because eventhough I didn't want to, I was starting to get very excited for this gift. I mean, my Santa sounded really excited and hyped up, and I just wanted to satisfy my curiosity, not really sure as to what might be on it's way.

Today it finally happened. I had just spoken with my husband about my gift that was stuck in transit hell in Canada, when the mailman rang the doorbell. (I am not even kidding, I think maybe 5 minutes had passed, and then boom, doorbell!) First words out of my mouth "Is it from Canada?" Husband goes yup! And I forgot all about making lunch, as I halfway tore the gift open, food be damned!

I didn't even get through reading the letter, starting to tear up, unable to really express just how emotional this has made me. My Santa really went ouf ot his way with this gift.

Inside it's not just one game, but rather two games, and both are prototypes. The first one is boardgame called Legends if Novus, and from the description it is straight up my alley, as it says this is a bit like D&D, Final Fantasy and Diablo combined (D&D?!? I totally don't have all the 5E books, and I totally haven't preordered the newest, nooo.. totally not! And FF and Diablo is not some of my favourite games, nopes, not at all.) The other is a duelling card game called Duel of the Dragons, where you play as dragons.

So in other words, my Santa went out of his way, contacted a local game designer, who not only said yes to helping him out, but gave him two games to send me, not just one, signed it and included a personalised letter for me. He then drove four hours to pickup the game, met Wesley (the creator of the games) and I am so shocked.

Aside from that, Pandoras Boox in Olds, Alberta also helped out by giving my Santa 5 magic promo cards to include in the package.

This has been a very emotional day, and it's only 12.15 pm.

P.S. The cat says thank you for the box too!
