This Christmas I was paired up with an awesome Secret Santa. When I first saw the massive box arrive on my doorstep and felt how light it was, I half expected to open it up and find that it was empty. Thankfully, my SS is way better than that. When I opened the box I found a ton of packing peanuts (score!) and a uniquely decorated box with a Reddit alien and christmas tree hand drawn on the outside. I opened that box up, and found more packing peanuts (surprise!) and a thoughtful card alongside two awesome gifts: a set of craft beer glasses, and a reusable hand-warmer. Thanks, SS for my new goal of brewing a different beer style to fit each one of my new glasses! I'm also very excited to try out the hand warmer when I go snowboarding this winter.

I also received a smaller package from Amazon with an awesome CD by The Clarks entitled "Another Happy Ending". Catnik wrote that it's her favorite band, and not a lot of people know about them. I was really happy to discover a new band, and after giving it a listen I enjoyed how they are like a groovy Carbon Leaf mixed with a little Matchbox Twenty. Thanks for the cool CD!

Cheers to you, Catnik, for being an thoughtful SS and an awesome artist!
