This is my first Reddit Secret Santa. I'm so happy with my gift. It feels wonderful to have someone reach out and send me something that shows appreciation for what I love in life. Thank you so much.

So I love cats. They're my favourite household pet ever. Cheeky little monkeys. So imagine my joy when my Secret Santa sent me through a card covered in cats on sushi... I also love sushi and Japan (been twice; once on my honey moon for a month!) Amazing! I wouldn't eat the sushi though... you know hairs and stuff.

I also love Star Trek. The Next Generation had a massive influence on me throughout my childhood. It helped me imagine the (possible) answers to "What if?" questions around space, time, and alien life. It made me want to travel through space and see what was out there. For now I'll continue to simply look up at the stars and dream of what, or who, could be out there.

To fuel my Star Trek addiction, I got a cool Star Trek mug and a key ring. The latter has been stripped of its packaging and is on my keyring now!

The card given to me also had a wonderful message in it. I wasn't expecting that. It's wonderful to get a peak into someone else's life, even if it's just a glimpse and you'll never get an update or know what came of life for that person. I wont share the message here. it feels wrong to do so.

Thank you again, Secret Santa. You've made my first Reddit Gifts Secret Santa better than I could have hoped for and as a result I'll be back next year and maybe even throughout the year too :)

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

P.S. I hope you got the girl ;-)
