I swear, Secret Santa has to be my favorite part of the holiday season every year, and I will continue to participate. Not only do I receive some pretty AWESOME (and unexpected) gifts each year, I have the chance to reach out and give to someone else. This year, my Secret Santa gave me a plethra of ideas for NEXT year's r/SS - one of them to be a lot more personal towards my giftee.

Here's what I got:

As you can see in the pictures, I received three presents - marked accordingly.

Present #1: A letter from Secret Santa, explaining everything. I had originally set it aside after I caught gist that it explained the gifts, but I absolutely loved how she worded our lack of similar interests, but how she was able to find my numerous social media websites where I basically post my entire life. Then she went on to explain the gifts (picture posted so you can read it for yourself). Secret Santa, if you're reading this, you also seem like a pretty rad chick, and I can see us possibly chatting it up in the future. <3

Present #2: A Sherlock coffee mug. Released a slight fangirl cry from my throat. I'm drinking coffee out of it as I write this.

Present #3: Totally. Unexpected. Just to clarify, I don't write much. I've both thought about and attempted to start writing a journal for myself but I ALWAYS fail, and I've wondered if it would be easier for me if I had a specific outline to follow, and this 365 questions - 5 year Q&A journal just does that. You've inspired my creative side, Secret Santa (which, since you've seen quite a bit about me, I'm pretty creative already) and I can't wait until the first of the year to do this. I promise I'll keep up with it.

I wish my Secret Santa had included their username so that they could see exactly how much I appreciated their gifts. <3 Thank you, Secret Santa. I hope you have a Happy Holidays.
