As a newcomer to reddit gift exchange, I had no idea what to really expect!

My santa also mentioned in a message to me after sending my package that he was also new to the whole experience!

As soon as I saw that the parcel was being shipped from Dallas, Texas, I was preparing my body for the authentic american experience (and I wasn't disappointed).

I received a great card detailing his whole thought process behind each of the items, and how they were an homage to his great taste in music and sense of humour (yep that's how we spell that word here in kiwiland, but my browser thinks i'm a liar).

There was a House of Blues t-shirt, Deep Ellum coaster, and A cheeky notebook.

Thanks dude, this is all preparing me for my trip to America sometime in May 2016. Instead of looking like a tourist, i'll fit right in! (I just need to work on that southern drawl and my bow legged walk).
