My not so Secret Santa absolutely blew me away with his generosity. This was my first time doing this whole reddit gift secret santa exchange thing and man has the bar been set high. I got a message on here from my santa asking if there was anything in my post history that did not apply or I lost interest in. Clearly he wanted to make sure that the gift(s) were on point and not just tossed into a box and out the door. Enough about how thoughtful and caring he was/is onto the goods.

I opened the box (with his instruction to be careful) to find a Nike DryFit long-sleeve pullover. Now my favorite team is The Alabama Crimson Tide, and Santa happens to be a Buckeye (to be fair, I used to be a massive OSU fan in the past). When I saw the box and the stickers, I was worried that I had just received Ohio State paraphernalia (cant be sporting the enemy team during the playoffs). The pullover is undoubtedly Scarlet Red but there is no Ohio State logo on it, so with my colorblindness I think I can convince people that its Crimson, the better of the two reds. This alone would have been an awesome gift, however the box was bigger and held more surprises.

Below the pull-over was two cylinder packages wrapped in brown paper with Ohio state stickers around them. I immediately guessed that the containers were liquor of some sort, but my mind was racing to the Ohio state stickers. Was this some sort of crazy Columbus holy water or something more sinister like a the tears of all the Alabama fans from two years ago, the last time ohio state and alabama played in the playoffs? My fears were put to rest when I opened them up to discover two tee shirts and two bottles of bourbon.

There is nothing better than lounging on the couch, watching football, and drinking some bourbon. And damn, did Santa deliver. The 1st bottle is from a company called Middle West Spirits. I was gifted a bottle of their OYO /Bourbon, Michelone Reserve Master's Blend. The 2nd bottle of bourbon is from another local distillery called, Watershed Distillery. Each bottle of bourbon was wrapped in a tee shirt from the distillery. Middle West has an awesome logo and the logo is on the front of the shirt.

So my Santa got me a nike pullover, two sweet tee shirts, and two awesome bottles of bourbon. I havent tried them yet, as I am getting over a cold, but I think I will be cracking into them this weekend.

To /u/jd358601, Thank You. The gifts are awesome and amazing. You really knocked it out of the park. I am very grateful for all that youve given me. Thank you again and have a merry Christmas, a Happy Hanukkah, Kwazy Kwanzaa, a tip-top Tet, and a solemn & dignified Ramadan.
