I've spent several days trying to figure out how to adequately thank my rematch Santa for their amazing generosity. So I've added a thanks in video form to go with the post. Check it out!

After my original Santa fell through, my rematch Santa stepped up to make this exchange AWESOME. A mail truck showed up with two HUGE boxes, and I unloaded the treasure trove of snacks. - Candy bars galore, including some of my favourites! - Gum - Chips, both fancy and Pringles - Some baked goods that got a little squished in the mail, but are still quite delicious - BEEF JERKY - Tea - Pop Tarts - Pez - Hot chocolate mix - Special Yukon fudge, candies, and hot sauce - Popcorn - Granola bars - Trail mix - Brownies - Mini Eggs - Truffles - Kraft Dinner and Swiss Chalet gravy

...and some other goodies that may or may not have been eaten before the video was made.

I'm amazed. I'm blown away by my rematch Santa's generosity. I'll be enjoying the snacks myself for a long time to come, but I want to pass on that generosity to someone else as well. So I'll be donating a chunk of my snack treasure trove to a local charity group I volunteer with. We use gaming events to raise money for children's charities that promote play. The donated snacks will help us raise funds at events, and give our gamers something to snack on during the wee hours of the morning in our upcoming 80-hour marathon.

THANK YOU, rematch Santa, from the bottom of my heart. You did an amazing thing. :)
