This is my first year for the Secret Santa, and I got myself one awesome Santa.

I made a comment in my survey that one skill I've always wanted to learn is lock picking. And it's very true. Like many things, I just never got around to it. Now, my SS has given me the tools to pursue it.

They got me a handy visual lock picking guide, a practice lock, and a set of picks! But that's not all...

Santa said I need to practice with these to prepare for the next gift!! I'll update when I know more. I'd best get to cracking!

And to my SS, let me express my big thanks! I couldn't have "picked" a better Santa.

UPDATE 1: Santa sent me a safe!! I came home from work to find another box from my SS and it's a safe!! It's too late to start trying to pick tonight, but not too late to upload some pictures for you all. This is awesome!

UPDATE 2: First, I had the wrong note uploaded for the note with the safe, so I fixed that. Also, I OPENED IT! I'll upload them asap!

UPDATE 3: Okay. Trying to ground myself to reality right now. So I opened it. Didn't take as long as I was worried it would. See for yourself below. I'm so overwhelmed!! Thank you! And he's not even done!! How can there be more???

UPDATE 4: Another box! Check it out!

FINAL UPDATE: This whole experience has been truly beyond belief. I'm completely floored with my Santa's generosity. Thanks to you all for putting up with my huge gallery, but it's the bare minimum I could do to thank my awesome Santa. What a ride...thank you again!!
