My rematch Santa crushed it. They've restored my faith in the whole process (after being shafted twice in the last few exchanges).

So enough about that, let's get to the gifts.

My profile stated that I am an aspiring amateur photographer, who loves to travel (honestly, there was probably an overload of information about that). Well my rematch Santa got me something that I've really wanted for quite some time - a "lens mug" - and not only is it cool looking (because its a coffee mug that is a replica lens), but whether my Santa knew it or not, they got me one that is identical to the lens I shoot most often with, my Canon 24-105 L! Thanks Santa!

I also mentioned that I like to game, so my Santa got me the stronghold collection. Again, unbeknownst to my Santa, I had played the demo of the first stronghold YEARS ago when it came out, but never purchased the full version. So I was very excited to pop it in my PC and start from scratch. I've been playing it for the last few weeks, and it's as fun as ever.

My Santa also grabbed the book "And on that Bombshell". I'm starting to get the sense that my Santa has ESP (or can somehow browse my Amazon search history), because that is a book I've wanted to read for some time, just haven't purchased. I'm about halfway through, and I love the stories about my guys from Top Gear!

My Santa wrapped up the gifts with some beer (I'm assuming local? - cool nonetheless if you're a breaking bad fan like myself), and a common phrase guide for Italian, which is one country I'm hoping to make it too in the next few years (and photograph!).

Overall, my Santa was amazing. Thanks again Rematch Santa!
