So here we go again, for some reason none of my text saved.

Anyway. I wasn't sure I was going to sign up for this. A good friend of mine had told me about Reddit Secret Santa years ago, and participated in a number of different exchanges. He was always so excited about it, but I never got around to signing up for it (or Reddit, I just lurked). He passed away in August, and I hadn't really been in a holiday cheer-y mood without him around. At the last minute, I decided to sign up, and I went all in, going for elf status too. I thought maybe it would help get me into the spirit of things.

Boy, did it ever.

My Santa is the greatest. First, let's talk about the box of stuff for my cat. He barely let me open it before he went for the toys. And then he tore into the treats and spoiled his dinner. It's okay, treats for dinner is fine during the holidays.

Then, there's my stuff. First, I love to bake. So awesome Santa got me a fox oven mitt and apron set, with the cutest foxy baking accessories. Including a whisk, which I was just saying I needed to purchase anew. Also, foxes are my favorite. Nowhere did I say that. Santa just knew somehow.

And the Box o' Fandom! Who knew so much awesome stuff could fit in there? Santa, you are a rock star. Thank you so much.

And thank you too, Redditors. Everyone's excitement about this has finally got me in the holiday spirit.

Look Ry, I finally signed up.

Now off to tear into MY treats for dinner.
