This afternoon, I received some bad news, and I was pretty crushed. (Not saying what because people in real life know my username.) An hour later, the postman came to my workplace and my colleague excitedly passed the parcel to me. Even though it didn't arrive in time for Christmas, it arrived just in time to soothe my shattered heart and envelope me in a warm Reddit hug.

On the top of the package were snacks! Not sure if my Secret Santa is a mind reader, but the two chocolates were my favorite flavors. I have eaten 1/5 of the Sanders chocolate. The pecans sound really delicious, and I cannot wait.

There was also a mysterious yellow package wrapped with a Christmas-patterned ribbon. Inside was a note, an artwork by my secret santa, and a necklace.

It is a pretty piece of artwork. Has the Chinese characters for double happiness, usually associated with wedded bliss. I guess I hope this brings good luck in the love department in 2016. :D

The necklace is in one of my favorite colors. I don't recall filling in that portion in my description. So plus one for another mind-reading skill. I don't have a cat (building laws and my mum hates them), so I got my shark to model it in the photos.

Last but not least, probably the coolest part of the gift. I was a bit puzzled by the note, and I thought my secret santa meant that he made the artwork instead. Until I was folding it up and realised there was something on the back. It was an Aisha from Neopets! OMG I can't believe someone actually took the time to draw.

Thank you, Secret Santa!! I hope you reveal yourself. I am feeling so much better thanks to your care package.
