I was originally saddened by my original Secret Santa pulling my info on December 13th and not coming through. However I received a mysterious package in the mail that I was not expecting. I opened it up and voila, something I would have never expected. In my profile I briefly mentioned that I DJ'd as a hobby. Santa did not know to what extent, what music, if I like to dabble in production, or anything. But Santa guessed correctly. Santa got me a newer version of a midi controller that I already own that can be used in music production or live. I happen to use mine live and upon replying to Santas message to me, found that he is familiar with my hobby. He sent me a great tutorial video that helps greatly with what I do.

For those familiar with this, the controller is introductory to people who are studio artist. I am not, its a hobby. I am thrilled with the gift!

The physical gift and the link are the presents. You can search and search and not find a video to help you with how you use a midi controller. My Santa was communicative and helpful and I wished he lived closer so we could compare techniques and usage in person.

As the mods say, life must get in the way for some Santas because mine definitely had the best intentions.

To add to this, I already accepted being a rematch Santa even before I got my gift. Now because I have two Santas gifting me, I am going to be a Rematch Santa again so I will be gifting 3 people when this is all done.
