Yesterday I got an envelope with my reddit username on it in the mail. I was quite puzzled, momentarily forgetting I had signed up for Reddit Secret Santa. It clicked while opening the envelope that this was from my Secret Santa, /u/grim_wizard!!!

Excitedly I opened the envelope wondering what it could be. $20 gift card to Starbucks? A nice Christmas card with well wishes? I would have been grateful with whatever it could've been but what I found completely blew my expectations! A GIFT CERTIFICATE TO GO SKYDIVING!!!

Skydiving has been on my bucket list for a very long time. Every year for the past 5-6 years I've been telling myself "this is the year I go skydiving" but something always has come in the way (classes, finances, travel, etc). But now it looks like 2017 WILL be the year I finally get to jump out of that plane, thanks to /u/grim_wizard!!!

I cannot begin to express my joy right now. I can't believe how kind and generous some people can be to total strangers they haven't even met before! I truly appreciate this gift and will pay it forward, that's my promise. If the skydiving center wasn't closed for winter, I'd be on that plane right now!

Cheers,
