Where do I start?! With this being my first Reddit SS I was quite nervous that I would end up sending a nice gift out but won't receive anything in return....aaaaand that's what actually happened.

Hanging my head in defeat, my son was sure that I'd get a box but I needed to be patient. A few days later, I see that special notification that not only do I have a rematch Santa, but they sent me an email letting me know they were going to save the day!

The next message I received, on New Years Eve, contained a link to download SIX games from Steam. My Santa noted that I "should have something for 2016 since you were a part of the 2016 Secret Santa". At this point, I didn't even care if nothing else was coming in as I just bought a new PC for the family and needed some games to put on there. This is what SS is all about!!

The message also contained a tracking number for the amazing finale that came in today! The first thing I noticed when I opened the box was a kick ass card in the style of my fav book, Ready Player One. Details matter, as an outline of an English Bulldog (my pet) graces the front because of course she has to be involved in everything. What's even better is I received my Lifetime Membership to the Squirtle Squad! Take that teachers who said I wouldn't amount to anything! The other items were nothing short of magnificent: Marvel shoelaces, Avengers car decal, a 5-port USB charger, Captain Apollo Funko Pop, a HUGE bag of goodies for my new GoPro, and a new Gaming headset!!! Since I bought a headset for my son, this was much appreciated so I don't have to "borrow" his.

I am super grateful to my SS as they've reminded me what the holiday season is all about! I had no idea there was a rematch process so I had all but given up on the hope that I would get a gift. Although my gift didn't get posted to the gallery, I felt good knowing that I was able to make somebody's holiday. I'm not letting that happen to my Santa though! In proper fashion, I took pictures of my unboxing process and even included a dog tax pic. I can't wait for next year!!!!!!
