My secret Santa made my first participation on redditgifts one of the absolute best experiences of my life. After listing the Lord of the Rings trilogy as one of my favorite movies my Santa went above and beyond and got me two of the best gifts I have ever gotten in my whole life.

I had been in contact with my Santa earlier, and from earlier messages I kind of guessed that he might be a person working in the movie industry in Hollywood. As a 16 year-old cinephile from Norway this of course made me very excited. I am sorry, but I have promised to keep my Secret Santa's identity, well, secret.

The package arrived morning of December 24th, just in time, as we Norwegians open up our presents after Christmas Eve dinner. My mom insisted that I wait until the evening, but I was not having any of that, and teared open the package as soon as I came back with it from the postal office.

The first gift I saw in the box is a frame with three actual film frames from the trilogy. My Santa has informed me that it is one of 1,000 unique frames given out on the premieres for the Return of the King in Wellington and L.A. over ten years ago (when I was six years old myself). At this point, I was going ballistic on the box. It was filled to the brim with chocolate and one other thing (I'll get back to that later). My brother actually had to remind me to check the card that was in there with all the other things; a small, red envelope with my name on it. I opened it up, and ho ly shit.

In it was one of those cards that sang jinglebells when opened, and I have now listened to that song a lot more times than normal to read over and over what was inside. He had not only signed the card himself, but also made two of my all-time favorite actors sign as well. Trust me, I really want to tell everyone who my awesome Santa is, as I understand that this might be very frustrating, but I will respect his wish to remain anonymous. His generosity and thoroughness has made me respect him immensely, I can tell you that much.

Then I found the craziest part of the whole thing. I actually think this part made me physically dissy. In the box, a small, green box laid like it was nothing special. I studied it for a little bit, and discovered that it said PROP with big bold letters on the bottom. I opened it up like it was a bomb inside, and my heart skipped, like, three beats. In this ordinary-looking, kind of tired, green box, The One Ring to Rule Them All rested silently. And my Secret Santa has confirmed that it has in deed been used in the movies as a prop.

I'd like to thank my Secret Santa for giving my whole family and myself an unforgettable experience and the best gifts I have ever gotten. Thank you so much!
