So, my secret santa was pretty much very awesome!

It all started with a few messages back and forth. My santa wanted as much information about me as humanly possible! (I even had to make up my own questions for myself, which got kinda hard in the end..).

"When will you be home on Sunday?" Came a question all of a sudden. "My elf from your neighbourhood will swing by with a little something something".

I was ecstatic! I had never tried anything like this before! And it's even a total stranger! Someone, whom I don't know the slightest!

Sunday came. I waited. Nothing... Suddenly, a new email arrived. "Hey! My elf visited you house, but it seems like nobody was home... However, he hid it in your backyard and left you a message in the snow!"

Shit! I had forgotten about the broken doorbell! This was probably my one and only chance of seeing a real elf! I was heartbroken. Nevertheless, a treasure was hidden in my backyard. Proof, that such an elf really do exist! There was no time to waste. I ran down the flight of stairs, threw on my jacket, jumped in my shoes, and flew out the front door.

Right there, in front of me, a beautiful drawing covered my backyard. I was flabbergasted! Like cropcircles, the elf had left me this as definitive proof of his existence!

No! This was not why I came here. I look around. Where could this fabled artifact be? To my surprise, it had been right behind me all of this time, which by now had felt like hours!

I pick it up. This was not your everyday present. It was huge. I carried it inside, with a smile on my face as if I had just cought my first fish.

When I came to my room, I placed the package on my bed. This was it. The long anticipated time. It was time to see, what it contained. As I opened the container, my smile soon faded. Nothing but crumpled newspaper..? This was certainly not what I expected...

"No!" I thought to myself. Santa would never do such a thing as sending someone outdated news. This had to be wrong. I knew it!

I near jumped head first into the pile of information. There it was! In christmas wrapping, with drawings of what looked like my secret santa himself! But there was more. Another gift was found. And another. And another! And for the last time, another present was now retrieved from the paper nuisance.

After further inspection, I notice that the presents were marked with dates. One present for each advent. But that's only four? What about the last? It was marked 24th December. A christmas present. This was too good to be true! What was even better was that it was already the 2nd December! The first Sunday in December! This meant that I could open the first present! This was also the biggest of all the presents. I was filled with joy. It was almost like it was almost Christmas! Off came the wrapping and behold! An entire assortment of presents, marked each with their own date, awaited me! A present now awaits me every morning and I can barely wait!

Thank you so much, Santa! You have made my December an adventure, and I really appreciate it!

I also took some pictures, which I've uploaded here:
