11/26: My SS establishes her awesomeness by sending me an anonymous message filled with yuletide cheer. She shares that she previously lived in the wonderful city of Chicago, near my current habitat. +1 message, and we learn that her undergrad school & my current employer = THE SAME. Woah.

11/28: SS composes for me the most bombdiggity poem. It was a top-notch poem, guys.

12/7: SS sends a note that the package has shipped.

12/12: I get home from work... and sweet baby Jesus, it arrived!! I kept the package unopened for half an hour to simply bask in suspended excitement.
