I had been a lurker for a couple of years on reddit and last year was really impressed by the Secret Santa. So this year I decided to join reddit officially. I joined early enough to get some post in and join some sub-reddits and hand out up votes so you could kinda tell who I was. So when it came time to sign up for the Secret Santa 2012, I did right away.

I was super excited to see who my match was going to be. The day of the matching, I refreshed the page all day until I got my match. I couldn't wait to stalk this person and get them something to their personal tasting. Then I got my match, and he had no info about them-self. No post, no comments, no up or down votes. Nothing. Couldn't even find my match on facebook. The only thing he or she left was a wish list from thinkgeek.com. I'm sure he or she only set up their account to get a couple extra present at the holiday. So I just got him or her something off the wish list and send it on its way. I know he or she has gotten it but he never confirmed it on redditgifts.

Then I kept looking to see if my Secret Santa had retrieved me yet. On the first day he did but never came back. With being new to reddit, I though maybe I would get some kind of email to ask more about me but nothing never came. The last retrieved date stayed the same. So I started to get bummed out and though I was just going to get completely screwed over. Even bitched about it in a post. Then suddenly FatherMCisReal, signed in and said package was sent. I was shocked and excited all over again. I didn't care what it was, I was just stoked to be apart of this whole thing.

Then today it came and I couldn't be happier. It was way better than anything I had expected. It had a personalized note and included a Batman comic, that I love, but was missing from my collection. I have a lot of Batman comics and for FatherMCisReal to have randomly chosen this one was an incredible coincidence.

I can not thank FatherMCisReal enough. He made my holiday that much more awesome.

If FatherMCisReal see's this, I know what it is like to be a poor film student. This was very kind of you to talk time out of your day and use what little money you have to send me a little something that means so much. Good luck with school and I wish you even more luck in this tough to make, but possible, industry. If I can pass on one piece of advice from someone who has been there, after you graduate don't ever feel you are above any job, you are not and there is alot to learn. I have watch those people that think they are too good to be a PA never make it past small budget shoots. Don't let that be you, put in the work.

Thank you again, Jahster
