Ohmygod. Oh. My. God. Oh my God. Guys. I’m shaking. I’m tearing up. I feel like I am in a dream. I don’t even know what to say right now, there are just so many words clouding up my mind. … So I’ve stared at the screen for a while just trying to formulate what I am going to say. I can’t believe I am crying, I just can’t believe someone could be this incredible to someone they haven’t met. You just… are… unbelievable. Incredible. Sheesh, I am a grown up (I think), I should be able to get this out. I just wanted to capture how I truly feel the moment I opened my gifts. Thank God I recorded myself opening up the gifts. (See attached video). It has no sound, I’m sorry. My children were being nuts. My oldest was freaking out because he couldn’t find his Xylophone and the other one I put in his Pack-N-Play for the time being, so I could un-wrap the gifts and take a moment to myself. So there was a lot of background noise haha.

Sorry, I digress. I just am unbelievably grateful. I cannot for the life of me express the level of gratitude I have Secret Santa. If anyone has read past my babbling of disbelief and thankfulness, I’ll just briefly explain a bit about what I told my Secret Santa and just WHY my Secret Santa is so incredible. I am a stay-at-home mom of two little men, 3 and 1. My husband and I have lived in the States for a bit now but are from Canada. So with no family help available, the cold weather, the shorter days and the holidays coming; I found myself feeling helpless. I mentioned to my Santa that I’ve recently realized I have no life besides my boys. “I hardly have a single thought of my own anymore. I am so incredibly happy being a mom and living the life I do - I just don't have anything that is really me.”

My Santa then sends me; a copy of Fallout 4, A Fallout 4 Vault Dweller’s Survival Guide, Deathwish Coffee, Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend, and a “Rockin’ Dude Wig.

So what is the first thing I do now that the gifts are unwrapped? The only natural thing to do; I put the wig on my kids. LOL

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Secret Santa! Time for some Fallout 4!!!!!!

Because the video of my 3-year-old won't work for some reason... (ignore my laugh, he was waiting for a laugh and I was trying to avoid making noise on camera...) https://youtu.be/Xh-tDYcwflI
