I loved this experience from moment one. From finding out my Giftee to receiving my gift, I am already excited to do this again next year. This is my first secret santa exchange on reddit, and my secret santa sure has set the bar high!

I was wondering if my secret santa would contact me at all, and thank goodness he did! He messaged me relatively early to say hi and to ask me just one question: Who is my favorite actor/actress. I had no idea what he was going to do with that information so I gave him about 4 or 5 of each sex that I really enjoy, not knowing what he had planned up his sleeve. After learning what he did with that information, man, he made the right choice. Drew Barrymore is my all time favorite!!! It doesn't get any prettier than her!!!

I was constantly checking my status to see when was the last time he looked at my profile and when my gift lit up, you should have seen my face. Hell, I should have seen my face. I had to have had a smile for hours! Then the new obsession of refreshing the UPS tracking began. It was shipped on Saturday and was supposed to arrive on Wednesday. Of course it was a day delayed because of last weeks bad ice storm, but when I saw that it was going to arrive today, I had to immediately call my husband at work and share how excited I was!!!

I was waiting all day long and then I had to take my son to the doctor, and of course they attempted to deliver it while I was gone. Just my luck. I was 15 minute late. 15 minutes!!! I immediately got in the car because I thought I could track down the UPS guy. When I finally found him, I think I scared him a little because I got out of my car and yelled, "UPS guy!!!!!" I was so happy to have gotten his attention and told him that he tried to deliver a package to me, and he finally handed it over once I showed him my I.D.

I was so excited to get home and open it, but I promised my husband I would wait for him to get home so he could experience the fun too. Thankfully, that was only about an hour later. We proceeded to open it together and it was sooooo much fun!

I can't wait to get rematched to somebody so we can restart the process of giving all over again!

Thank you so much secret santa! You made my day and I will never ever ever forget you! I will always think about you and your sweet family that took the time to think about me every time I put that little santa on my tree. (And of course every time I wear my new t shirt, eat with my chopsticks, use my tree skirt and matching table liner, or eat chocolate kisses) ..... I guess that means I will probably think about y'all every day. Does that make us family now? :)

I know this whole experience is about giving and the feeling we get when we make others happy and thought of, but I hope it comes back to you from your secret santa ten fold. Please message me and tell me about your experience!!!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!
