I figured it was time to try my hand out at Reddit Secret Santa, and while my original gifter decided it was better to shaft a complete stranger, I was content knowing that MY giftee really enjoyed the gift I had sent him.

Fast forward to Boxing Day.

RG sent me an email asking to confirm that I did not receive a gift. I followed their rules, and did as requested. Magically, I was rematched.

That person, FinchyGurl99, ended up being in constant contact with me via the anonymous message system, and believe me, it's refreshing to have a response from a person, even if you don't know them.

Anyways, after some back and forth. Things went silent for a couple weeks. I sent a message, more out of concern, because she seemed like an active user. She responded and said things didn't work out with her original gift purchase and that she'd send something to tide me over until then.

TODAY WAS THAT DAY! Goddamn, box of every type of candy bar! As well as kind note explaining everything that happened. I won't post all that business, but believe me, I know that life gets hectic sometimes, and a complete stranger isn't always at the top of the priority list.

NEEDLESS to say, the fact that a gift was even sent, even when you might not have the most time in the world, meant a lot. Seriously.

I'll try and end the complimenting and ass kissing here, but FinchyGurl99, Thank you. The PPS: was a perfect amount of stalking, and the chocolate is a SOLID gift, even if it's a tide over present.

Thank you again, you restored my belief that good people use Reddit!
