First I would like to say that I have had a very stressful holidays so far. It has simply been one long of list of things I need to get done and don't have time for. So when my mother called me downstairs saying that there was a package for me, a couple days after I received confirmation that my secret santa had shipped my gift, I was ecstatic. My joy was only amplified.

I was expecting, at maximum, maybe a book or two. Or maybe a a dvd. No, instead what I received was five Teen Titans DVD's, an exclusive SHIELD Lanyard from Comic-Con and a picture and note from the best Secret Santa family ever. The generosity of a stranger was and is overwhelming.

After reading the note, the SHIELD Lanyard became all the more precious. A young boy voluntarily gave up one of his favorite possessions because, and I quote, "you seem very nice and that I would like it". This is the point where I teared up a little bit.

So young Mr. DuBroy, if you are reading this, I would like to give my sincerest thanks for the SHIELD Lanyard. I will treasure it always. Also, I am jealous that you got to go to the SHIELD panel and finally, that you have a very good taste in heroes. (Hawkeye is my favorite Avenger, and would be my favorite hero overall if not for Batman.)

To the parents of the Dubroys, you certainly doing something right.

Finally, to all of Dubroys, I would like to thank you for the five Teen Titans DVD's. I love the show and am now thrilled that I don't have to watch cruddy youtube uploads of the episodes and can share these with my friends and family. Also, the note and picture of your family is most appreciated, in making the gifts mean so much more.

To close, I was having a stressed and frankly slightly depressing Holiday season, until a families' generosity made me feel the spirit of the season. Merry Christmas to you all, and a Happy New Year.
