I got matched with Alyssa Milano.

...I don't even know how to start this. I don't know what to think about the first gift still. I don't even know if it was from the same person. I am very confused. Yesterday, I came home from work, and I was unexpectedly welcomed with a FedEx missed package door slip. I didn't get home until late last night, so it was too late to go out and get it. I was not expecting any package whatsoever. I was really confused, and had to double check if this was even for me, and called the FedEx number given to make sure that if I did go pick it up, it would have my name on it. Called the support line, talked to a very awkward rep. Haha.

He confirmed that the package was for me! I was still super confused, because the only shipping information I got from my SS was the first gift I received. I hurried up and rushed over to the local shipment facility to see what the package was. As soon as I was about to step out of my car to go retrieve my package, I received a call from the facility saying my package is ready to be picked up. Great timing, haha. I got the package, saw the secret santa logo and reddit shipping paper! Then I was really getting excited...I tore open the package and looked inside to see my gifts nicely hand wrapped and tied in a bow and even a personal christmas card!

I could not open the presents then and there..I wanted to wait until I got home. As soon I did though, I tore those suckers open like no tomorrow! First I started with the card of course. Which had a happy holidays message inside. Which I do appreciate. Then I moved on to the first gift, which looked to be a small box. I was not sure at all what it was. I shook the box and heard a rattling inside, as if it were candy! This was anything but candy! haha It was allergy medicine! I am very allergic to a lot of common things, but nothing deadly...which is what I said in my profile. This made me laugh and I love it because I will be using these! Just not before work or school. Haha That wasn't it though...behind the allergy medicine box..was a gift card to best buy for $50! This is amazing, and I really don't know what to get with it. There's just too many options. I was not expecting that at all. I want to thank you so much. Oh and did you forget. We are only on the first present still. ;) Now I go for the second package. What looks to be a dvd or even a video game box, I assumed it was a comedy movie or something along those lines. Nope! It's a tv series that sounds actually really interesting and I can't wait to watch it. Now on to the last but not least! I open the last package that looks to be some kind of reading material. Its a book to learn guitar! I would love to learn how to actually really play this time! It would be really cool to have that kind of skill. I did get a electric guitar for Christmas one year from my parents, but never actually learned how to play it because of certain reasons. One being the biggest factor in my opinion would have to be the fact that it was a right handed guitar and I am left handed. I always found it hard to place my figures in the right place and still be able strum with rhythm. Long story short, I no longer have the amp or guitar, but still have the urge to learn.

That was super awesome and thoughtful of you, and I love how personal the gifts were. I was not expecting all this at all. It was beyond what I could ask for. I want to thank you a million times Alyssa for everything. It means the world that you would go this far to bring me some really amazing gifts and go through all the trouble of making each one personal! I really hope you got treated as well as I did, because you deserve it. You are a perfect example of why this amazing online secret santa works. Thank you times a million for everything, I hope you have an amazing Christmas, and happy New Years! Til next year.

UPDATE 2: I finally got to know who I am matched up with. It all started this morning. I woke up and checked my email as always. Saw there was a comment on this post. Checked out, saw the admin said who I was matched up with. I was kind of skeptical at first, but was still sharing the news with everyone. Well the more I thought about it, the deeper I dug into it. First was checking if the commenter was really an admin. Check. Haha. I was getting all ready to go to work as I normally do, but could not shake the fact that I was matched with a celebrity. I've honestly have never had the opportunity to be star struck, but I seriously was at this moment. Anyways, so I do a little more digging. She signed the christmas card she gave me, and I was trying to match the signature. It wasn't exactly the same, but it was close. Next I thought, check the shipping info on the packaging! Sure enough "Milano" was there. (Will upload an edited pic to blur out personal info later). What even made it more believable was the address it was shipped from was basically Hollywood Hills, as well as from a company named "AJM Productions"...AJM...Alyssa Jayne Milano! :O At this point I'm a 100% believer. I can't believe I got matched with Alyssa Milano! Anyways...this is my second experience with reddit secret santa, and wow this year I will never forget! This is incredibly amazing!

UPDATE: Another unexpected package has arrived! I could not believe this. This is seriously just mind blowing. I got a personalized autographed copy of Hacktivist! Thank you so much for this!
