I got 3 presents from my Secret Santa, all of them were very cool and it showed that they paid attention to what I am interested in.

First, I told them that Dazed and Confused is my favorite movie. They got me a shirt of one of the main characters, which includes probably his most memorable catchphrase from the movie. His name is Wooderson and he is all about Living or as he says it L-I-V-I-N. The shirt I received displays this and its perfect for me since he is one of my favorite characters from the film. I will be definitely be wearing the shirt often.

Second, I told them that Hunter S. Thompson is my favorite author. My Secret Santa sent me a poster drawn by the artist Ralph Steadman who was Thompson's sometimes sidekick and who drew crazy pictures of some of their more memorable escapades. The poster is from "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and it is already hanging in my room. It shows Thompson and his partner in insanity Dr. Gonzo driving around in a Red Cadillac convertible. The book is filled with Steadman drawings and this poster is a perfect representation of one of the best.

Third and finally, I mentioned that I love and work with books and spend much of my down time reading. My Secret Santa got me an original 1970's copy of "The Right Stuff" by Tom Wolfe. This is the story of the first test pilots who became American Astronauts and is the basis for the popular 1980s movie also called "the right stuff". This gift was especially great for me since it is an original and has much more character then a reprinted edition would I feel.

All in all my Secret Santa did amazing. I got not one or two, but three presents. Not only did I get quantity from my Secret Santa but great quality with each gift as well. All three are things I will enjoy very much and they also reflect some of my main interests and suggestions perfectly.

Well done and Thank you, Secret Santa
