It's 4 days after Christmas, and I finally managed to escape my parent's house to go back to my apartment. The first thing I checked was my front door, and it was empty. So then I ran to the mailbox, and there it was, a package with my name on it.

I quickly ran back to my apartment, ignored all of the bags that I needed to unpack, and called out to Panini, so we can open the present together. And boom! A Final Fantasy X-2 official guide, a Nintendo mug, Legend of Zelda playing cards, a Luigi keychain, and two doggy treats for Panini. The presents honestly made our day since we've been homesick because of constantly nagging parents, irresistibly cute nephew who enjoys screaming his lungs out, and a neighborhood full of mean howling demon dogs.

To my Secret Santa, thanks for the happiness in a box. I was going to take a picture of both of the treats, but Nini has decided to eat one already. As for me, the game related gifts made my toes clench in joy. With all the things that has happened to me, I'm grateful for this moment. I hope you didn't worry about the present reaching me. I hope you, and everyone who crosses upon this post, an amazing year!!

Much love, Panini & Luigi
