What the heck is this, I wondered as I got a sack from the post office. Did Santa send me his gift sack instead of the gift itself?

But no, the sack actually contained.. wait for it.. a cardboard box! From Amazon! Woot, I got a cool cardboard box!

Oh.

There's something inside. It says "a book" on the side. What could be cooler than a cardboard box though? Nothing, I tell you.

.. Except that I was wrong. It was filled with.. GRRM's The World of Ice and Fire. Damnit, santa. It's brilliant. I'm one of those that always look, fiddle with and read the world books at the store but never for whatever reason (read: I'm a cheapass) get around to buying them. It's a great gift, mr. SnarkKnuckle and I salute you for it.

Merry Christmas to you, mate!

EDIT:

Wait, there's more? I might have (barely) had patience to wait for the other one to arrive had I noticed there's another parcel heading my way.

I lie.

But it came finally! And it's one for the ages, going to last me the rest of my days. "BUT WHAT IS IT?!", you ask.

It's my very own Pick of Doom. Pick of Destiny. Pick that'll never wear down. A pick that will not bend or yield even in face of the thickest strings and craziest shredding I can ever do.

It's magnificent.

Thanks SS <3. You go up to 11.
