What got me here? Well, my mom was the one in our family who pulled the Holidaze out of her bum, so when she died in 2013, our celebrating died with her. The husbandyperson & I haven't exchanged gifts with each other in years. But this year, we wanted to change all that. Not for each other - we wanted to bring some cheer to someone like us, someone in need of a little magic.

My/our Secret Santa was thorough! They had to have gone into my post history to find I have a cat, because they sent Willis a catnip-like vine that's more potent than catnip, called SilverVine. Willis loves it!! It literally makes him drool.

I received a Raiders logo sweater! This is AWESOME, because I have never been able to afford any of their brand merch. The only Raiders item I had until now was a castoff blanket from a car which was forfeited by the owner - along with all its contents - to my shop (so that Raiders blanket became mine). The best part is - the sweater fits, and it's now the warmest sweater I own!! I will proudly wear it every fall/winter. It's already in the books as What I Wore to Chrimbus Dinner 2017.

Finally - last but by no means least - I got a very special gift that will be the better part of 6 months in the making. I posted about it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GetMotivated/comments/7n1ql7/tool_close_2017_plan_2018_fill_out_a_year/dryhq1n/?context=3

Thank You, Reddit Secret Santa!!! <3
