I was a little down as of late thinking of secret santa, as it had been a while since I heard anything of my gift. I was worried that my santa had stiffed me, yet again. To my surprise, however... I arrived home from work early a package was waiting for me. With a stamp from the Royal Mail, I wondered what it could be for me from all the way across the pond! The package was solid, and quite heavy for the size. In my excited haste, I tore open the mail bag and inside was a lovingly wrapped gift with a perfectly hand-drawn reddit alien and a note which was personally typed on what looks to be a type-writer. The note reads:

To, Emart Happy christmas to you fellow Reddit brethren. I hope you have a wonderful holiday with family, your girl and your lovely looking cat :) I hope you drink and eat far too much, put on a rather hideous christmas jumper and endure many a feeble attempts at cracking chestnuts around a fire somewhere. All of those classic but fun things we do here in the UK. I hope you get everything you wish for this christmas. Enjoy a few guilty pleasures, snow (if you get it, unlike us.) Hope you enjoy this gift.

Have a chilled one sir sending much light, christmas vibes, and happiness across the seas. S.S Bristol UK

It was a really touching note, and I was over the moon with it. I carefully unwrapped my gift to find... a paper chess set to make and play! It is a fantastic gift, as I mentioned I am looking to improve my chess playing this year. Now, not only do I get to celebrate a second christmas, but now I have a reason to play more chess!

Thank you secret santa, whoever you are!
