Matching happened Nov 23rd and I got a message from my SS saying my gifts were shipped on Nov 29th. Gifts?! As in more than 1?!

So 2 packages arrived on Dec 3rd. I message SS all excited that they are here. They replied back asking me to wait till 24th. Hmmm how hard can it be?! It took some patience. It made it easier knowing that these would be the only gifts under the tree for me. (I did a little light shaking. I need to remember to put bells into the package I send to someone next year. You know, for the shaker of gifts.)

About a week before Christmas a third package arrived, a small pink box from China. Pretty! What is it?

So fast forward to Christmas. I did a 6am shift volunteering at the help line, took a nap, and jumped right into cooking, cleaning, and the craziness of Christmas with family coming over. At the end of the night, I sat on the couch, put on some Supernatural (I'm finally onto season 10. I started re-watching it.. again..) Time to open gifts!!!!

Wow! Seriously! Supernatural Mugs! I think everyone laughs at Sam's lost shoe and Dean's pie addiction! "You forgot the pie?!" Also when Dean screamed like a little girl, "that was scary." But I digress, I also drink a lot of coffee so this is perfect! Thank you so much SS! (SS loves Supernatural too! Maybe they will do an exchange with a Supernatural theme. HINT HINT redditgifts team!)

The last package to open was the blue wrapped amazon gift. I really had no idea what to expect. I always love when I get gifts that also mean something to the people sending them. I can't wait to read Child 44. I hear it is one of the top 100 thrillers of all time! I will update you once I have finished it!

So first off SS. I am not normally a steaming dick who posts a week late. You have been so patient and not given me a hard time about my lack of posting. Please let me say, Christmas is normally low key here, but I have to do the cooking, cleaning, and tire out the husky. Hence the late post. Also, you have taught me patience for future exchanges. I will try not to incessantly message giftees when they don't post right away. (I said try!)

Thank you so much SS! You made my Christmas! This was my first Secret Santa and went beyond expectations! I am floored by my gifts! I hope you enjoy the photos!
