So, full disclosure: I was worried about this year's exchange. I've participated in several exchanges, have gotten cool stuff every time, and have never had to get rematched.

This time, total radio silence from my Santa and one info pull the day after matching day... Even after all of the "don't panic" posts, I was slightly panicked.

My Santa came through with a buzzer beater and shipped on the final day! I calmed down. I saw there were two packages shipped, and I got excited.

When the first package came, I saw my Reddit username and did a little happy dance in front of my mailman. I opened it to find a Starfleet insignia pin with rank pips! On my questionnaire I said that I'd like to live in the world of Star Trek TNG, as long as I wasn't a "Red Shirt", and now I can be whatever rank I want! I knew there was more coming, so I waited (impatiently) for my other package.

I do 90% of my holiday shopping online, and was expecting a few packages from Amazon, so when the mailman came to the door with a stack of boxes I already knew he was coming. This first box I opened was things that I ordered, and I assumed the other box was the rest. When I opened it, however, I see a Magic: The Gathering Amonkhet bundle staring at me.

wait, I thought, I didn't order... SECRET SANTA! I closed the box to look at the label and sure enough, there was my username again! I excitedly pull out the bundle to see another item underneath, and my jaw dropped.

A FOUR BINDER!

Quick lesson for the uninitiated (Glossing over a lot of details, please don't be "that guy" and try to fill in all the rules): in Magic, each player has their own deck of at least 60 cards that they play with. In this deck, you can have a maximum of four copies of each card. This set of four is referred to as a "Playset".

Most card binders are in a 3x3 configuration, so the pages fit into a standard 3 ring binder. I'm sure you can see the issue here: a playset won't fit in a single row of a standard binder. The Four Binder is a 3x4 configuration, fixing this problem! Also, it's made of premium materials to protect what can be really expensive cards.

So I begin the next step in the process and begin to open up my booster packs, where I am met with more jaw dropping when I pulled the chase card for the whole set: Hazoret the Fervent! Someone else can /r/theydidthemath and tell the odds of getting that card; the rest of the rare cards in the packs were nothing to sneeze at either.

My panic was completely unwarranted, my gifts are awesome, and I need to go find where I dropped my jaw! Thanks Santa!
