I received my holiday cards rematch all the way from Italy today, and I have to say that I was totally blown away! My postman rang the doorbell because he was surprised by the large envelope and thought it might be considered a package.

When I opened it up, I found two envelopes inside, tied beautifully with ribbon. The first of these contained a letter on pretty stationary along with a gorgeous coin purse, handmade by my rematcher and her boyfriend! She sent it because we share a love of steampunk, and she likes to use these for her steampunk LARPing. I will definitely be doing the same!

The second envelope was (if possible) even more exciting. It came with a Hogwarts crest on the front, and the card inside was in Gryffindor colors! I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter and consider myself a Gryffindor, so I was thrilled. I opened up the card, and inside was a pop-up owl carrying a chocolate frog box. So awesome!

This envelope also contained another note from my rematcher (with cool, burny edges), telling me a little bit about herself and our many shared interests: steampunk, "Firefly," and Harry Potter. She also provided some book recommendations that sound excellent. I couldn't believe how much we had in common.

This is so much more than I expected from a greeting card exchange. Thank you so much, /u/Agrajagbat! You're an amazing Santa, and I am stunned by the hard work and generosity you put into wishing me a happy holiday! I tried to take lots of photos to show how much I appreciated it. Have a wonderful 2014!

EDIT: There's more! I just thought to see if the "chocolate frog" package opened, and IT DOES! Inside was an origami chocolate frog and a special, Christmas chocolate frog card of Dumbledore. The back contains new information about this famous wizard and says "We have breaking news : he actually IS Santa. He chose to disguise himself, dressing like St. Nicholas for missions among muggles. Some of them saw him and Santa Claus legend was spread for better cover. True story." I've added two more photos to show the frog and the card. Thanks again, /u/Agrajagbat!
