First and foremost, I want to thank my Santa--THANK YOU! Thank you for the very thoughtful and generous gift. It's been a rough winter so far and this is exactly what I needed to restore my faith that there are good people in the world and it gives me a chance to explore new music I otherwise may have never listened to. Thank you and I wish you a very happy holiday season.

I received the first package on Sunday and it held two records I am unfamiliar with. This piqued my curiosity and I started doing some research on the albums and artists. :)

Each day this week another album showed up on my doorstep. I looked so forward to checking the mail every day and couldn't believe they just kept coming! I must confess that I did cheat and listen to some of the albums online because the suspense was killing me. Then today, the final package shows up and low and behold it's a Crosley record player from my Amazon wishlist!!!

I couldn't get home fast enough to put the record player together and get to listening. I am still trying to figure out how to get the pitch just right but I have listened to two albums (out of five!) and I think we have a very similar taste in music!

Here are some pics of my awesome gift and my cat being very curious about it. I've been doing reddit santa for years and this year is one of the best I could've asked for! I hope all of the generous karma/energy/positive vibes come full circle to you Santa!
