My SS marked my gift as shipped on the 4th, and it arrived on the 6th! I was so ecstatic to receive it so quickly! She also mentioned the gifts were coming in three separate shipments... Three separate gifts?! Thank you for your amazing generosity my fellow redditor, this is amazing!

The first package contained the special edition DVD of A Christmas Story and a book called "Manga Moods" that has different expressions drawn in manga style along with Japanese words and phrases. This is an amazing gift! I speak an intermediate level of Japanese and this book is so fun to learn more and test my vocabulary. I spent an hour on the phone with my boyfriend speaking in just Japanese with him having the time of my life.

As for the DVD, I've never seen A Christmas Story before (I don't even know how I've managed to miss it as it's such a classic) and neither has my boyfriend, so when we get to see each other for Christmas this year we're going to cuddle up and watch it. Thank you so much SS for providing such great opportunities for enjoyment and moments I can treasure forever =)

I will update when I receive any further packages.
