LATEST UPDATE: Yesterday I came home from work -- from the end of a VERY long week -- and there was a package at my door. "What is this?" I thought. I checked the return address and saw "Reddit Elf" and an address I recognized from Christmas. That's right, folks, my Santa sent me ANOTHER package two months after Christmas. In this package rested two games --- Dr. Who Yatzee and Fluxx. Yatzee has a 50th anniversary Tardis (instead of the cup) and I've never played Fluxx before, but after reading the rules, we can't wait to play. Santa...just...you are amazing.

UPDATE: Santa, you are the BEST!

So....earlier today I received a package with a book that I thought was from my SS. Turns out that gift is still a mystery!

I came home from dropping my daughter somewhere (for sports, not just dropping her off at a random place) and found a BIG package with MY name on it. And my Santa is from not-so-far-away from me, too!

This is a 12 Days of Christmas gift. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves, but each one is individually wrapped, with a hand-stamped and numbered, with a little note on the back of each (I peeked, but I only actually read Day 1's note).

My Santa knew from the information I filled out that I'm in school and teaching full time. I am so touched by the thoughtfulness of this gift and the time she (he?) took to assemble this. Santa, you can't possibly know this, but my life is in turmoil right now, due to some very recent events. I cannot properly express how this gift makes me feel lifted up and light-hearted. I want you to know how very much I appreciate this.

I'll update in a few days, once I've opened more of the gifts but I didn't want to wait 12 days to post my very heart-felt thank you.
