First of all, I'm so sorry that I'm only posting now, this late. I really didn't have the chance earlier, although my gift arrived something like 20th or 21th of December.

This year I wanted to do something different for Reddit's Secret Santa.

I wanted to give something to my girlfriend from someone on the internet, based on a wishlist, so I made up my profile mirroring my girlfriend's likes and dislikes and whatnot :P

What happened was amazing and unexpected.

I received a letter from my local mail office, to pick up a package. I'm sorry that I don't have photos of stuff inside wrapped up, but I couldn't contain myself, and had to open them up ahah.

So Secret Santa wrote me a letter, and gifted me 3 things.

In this letter, that I prefer not to post, because I want it to remain personal (and also has his signature), he said that he couldn't get what he wanted to give my girlfriend in time, so he had to go with something else.

After the reading the letter, I actually got quite emotional, because my girlfriend was with me and he wrote beautiful things. She read it too.

We were very happy with just the letter.

First gift: A money box. The purpose is to save money to eventually buy the piano. Thank you for this, because now it has REALLY become a thing. I hope to buy one in the summer :).

Second gift: Ok so this guy must read minds or something like that, because I don't think he could know by my profile, that I really really wanted this. It's the 2 DVD Set Breaking The Fourth Wall, by Dream Theater.

Dream Theater is my favorite band and I have almost all their CDs and DVDs, except this one. Well, until now anyway. Thank you so much for this. I turned into that kid in youtube opening the Nintendo 64. You are awesome :D

Third gift: A MtG Booster. He knew that I really like MtG, so he gave me a booster of the latest expansion. But it's not a regular booster. At first inspection, I found it a bit odd, that the bottom part had been unglued carefully, meaning that the booster had been tampered with. I though "Well maybe he wanted to know if a really valuable card was in there or something" and just laughed it off. But then I remembered what he wrote me in the letter:

"Here goes a Zendikar booster that I hope you'll like and that in the Christmas spirit, the ultra mythic rare card that's in there, will make that will grow".

This booster had an extra card. Made by my Secret Santa.

It's perfect, and more valuable than any other card to me. You even put in a Dream Theater reference on the card. You are AMAZING. I've sleeved it in my best card sleeve.

I plan to keep doing this Reddit Secret Santa thing. It's the second time that I open my gifts from a complete stranger, and get so happy. Memories that you carry with you, through your life.

Thank you, Secret Santa, for the dedication and effort, for resonating with me. I just hope that whatever you got for Christmas was equally as good.

I really wish you the best.

PS: If you were guessing, I also took a picture of the actual rare card of the booster :P
