My secret Santa sent me a collection of fantastic gifts that suit me very well. I can tell (s)he really did their research. I'm a hobbyist photographer, I'm a habitual reader of XKCD, I watch Wil Wheaton's Tabletop show, and I have shown a penchant for comic book silliness in the past. I enjoy classic comic book charactes such as batman, spiderman, etc.

My secret Santa was not satisfied with just one gift or two gifts, oh no! They sent me a package of four gifts, all well-targeted to me. (Perhaps I should be worried that I have a stalker?)

First up, I received a photography book that is full of well known and unknown (at least to me) photographs, as well as an interesting backstory about each of the included photographs and the photographers who took them! This is a tiny book that I'll no doubt spend countless hours studying. Awesome!

Next, I was given the book Think Explainer, by the author of the popular webcomic XKCD! This is a book I had actually already been thinking about buying, and now I don't have to! It kind of reminds me of the "how stuff works" books from when i was a kid, but with a lot more humor. It's really fun and I can't wait to get back home to go over it some more!

Third, they gave me a pair of Batman socks, complete with cape! These are so much fun and totally ludicrous! I wore them to work right after opening them. I'm pretty sure no one knew I was wearing them, but I felt like a superhero!

Finally, they sent me the game Sushi Go! I had heard about this game before because I watched Wil Wheaton play it on his show Tabletop. It looked like a lot of fun when I watched him play it, and I am excited to get together with some friends and play it soon.

Thank you, super secret santa! You're awesome and you're truly a pro gift-giver! I enjoyed opening up your gifts, and I know I'll enjoy them a lot over the next year as well.
