I came home to find a fairly large box by my door. My gift HAS ARRIVED! First thing I noticed was that it was sent from Canada's West coast and I live near the East coast. Sweet Jesus, that must have been some expensive shipping! Thank you!

I opened it up to find a bunch of smaller boxes, all wrapped in different wrapping paper. That's how you know your SS really, truly cares about the gift. The paper did not last long. In childlike delight I massacred the wrapping paper to find what is essentially a "charlieruskiy" gift basket, specifically tailored for my reddit post history.

First I came upon chocolate. Lots and lots of chocolate. And this ain't some generic Christmas chocolate, my SS went all out and got me freaking Kinder chocolate! I mean, if you can name a more delicious brand of chocolate out there, I'd like to know about it cause I can't think of any.

Next, there was a box of cookies. Oreos to be exact. Why you may ask? Well why the frig not? There is nothing better than having a nice glass of milk with some delightful Oreos, ESPECIALLY around Xmas time. Come on now, everyone knows that.

There was still more and here is where my SS truly shined! My SS is not one to send out a gift without first doing their research. As such, my SS was well aware that I am in film school and even managed to dig up my absolute favorite film and so I was delighted to discover a blu ray copy of Almost Famous, aka the film that sent me to film school! Thank you!

But wait, there was more to come! Among the many wrapped boxes was a post card with a very nice message that really made my evening. Attached to it was a gift card to a book store. Oh yes, my SS knew of my obsession with a certain fantasy series and knew how to cater to it. I immediately ran to the mall and picked up a copy of "The World of Ice and Fire."

So, to my glorious Secret Santa, thank you! Thank you so much! Your gifts, your note and the thought and research means so, so much to me! You've really made, what is one of the worst holiday seasons I've had to date, a little bit better. Thank you!

Your new friend, charlieruskiy.
