All right, SS - you knocked it out of the park! Pet gifts are THE BEST gifts, and Charlie approves 100%! So much so, that when I started opening the box, he could tell right away that it was something for him and his sister! He wouldn’t stop pestering me until everyone had one (and then two, and then three because Christmas). Thank you SO MUCH! I love seeing how much my pups are enjoying this.

EDIT - I just logged into my RG account to post this, and checked my inbox after posting. My ultra-creative Santa had informed me there is more to come, and I had no idea. Will keep updating!!

FINAL EDIT: I have no words. The amount of thought, care, and love that went into this gift is beyond anything I’ve ever experienced in gift-receiving before. Jumbo bag of fancy dog treats, 6 (SIX!) containers of kitty treats, a Miata t-shirt, TWO portable campfires, an electric wine opener and chiller, a GoT chalice, and a perfectly clever rhyme note for each gift. Not only did I get spoiled rotten, my fur kids did as well.

I don’t have any idea how to ever thank you, Santa. Just know that you’ve ruined me for every other exchange, and for now, I’ll be paying it forward with my own Match this year.

Your generosity and thoughtfulness is something that we rarely encounter anymore, and I cannot believe my luck of being paired with such an amazing soul. Thank you thank you thank you!!

UM THAT WASN'T THE FINAL EDIT APPARENTLY (1/28/19) So, I got an unexpected envelope last weekend. I tend to order things from Etsy and Ebay, so sometimes things will come that I ordered and wasn't expecting right then, so I figured that was it. I open the outer envelope to reveal an inner envelope, which had been mailed, sorted and re-sorted, and returned to sender for an incomplete address. "SORRY!" was scribbled over the envelope, and I LOL'd at the mistake that I, myself, had made many times in the past. Opening that envelope, my grin turned to shock as I read a handwritten, thoughtful, kind message from my Santa, and realized it also contained a $100 spa gift card. Shock then turned into disbelief and a sense of overwhelming gratitude for this lovely stranger, who somehow continued to keep the Christmas spirit going a month after the holiday.

I would say I'm speechless, but I can't shut up about how amazing my Santa is, and how lucky I am to be part of this amazing experience. So, Santa - thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
