Santa definitely went all in this year! it was also kind of a wild ride because I decided to save this one for Christmas day (you know, with the family) and very nonchalantly opened it up in company of everyone after we were done handing out gifts, not knowing what was waiting for me in it.

At first it wasn't so bad, I pulled out a box of hot tamales! I promptly opened them up and started passing them around, sweet tooth is genetic and everyone at my family loves spicy/sour candy, so it was very well received.

Then a box of Toxic Waste Sour Smog Balls! I managed to sleight of hand these into my hoodie because I knew they wouldn't survive the night if I started sharing them, betraying the meaning of Christmas (which is all about sharing) but letting me keep more candy for myself.

Then a box of Nerds! Mango Chile flavor? I had never seen/tasted this flavor before but they're great! I also shared these but never did get the rest of them back, how greedy.

And the next thing I pulled out, in big, bold red letters and surrounded by 17th century depictions of daemons was "The Daemon Tarot" by Ariana Osborne, a daemonic tarot+book combo, right there in front of the beautifully adorned nativity scene, oh no.

Right besides it was the following gift, for the 2 punch combo right on Jesus' birthday, a beautiful crow skull necklace in a black bag, imprinted with a very geometric, very visible pentagram on it.

Now I personally loved these gifts! I've always been very interested in the topics of the occult, and it is something I delve into as a hobby, which is definitely something very normal and not alarming or creepy at all, but I could still feel the disappointment emanating from my grandma, a hardcore, old-school catholic, who witnessed me open all of this right on Christmas day, unable to contain my excitement, sorry, grandma!

Contained in the gift box was also a handwritten letter from my Canadian Secret Santa, who had a lot of fun picking these out for me, I can imagine! hahaha.

Thank you very much Canadian Secret Santa! and Merry Christmas everyone!
