Grüezi mitenand,

I don't know what to say, my first year of Secret Santa is probably already the best one. My Swiss Santa really did his research and nailed it with every present. Let's start with the food stuff:

In my description I wrote that I have a lot of food related allergies, so I'd rather not have any edible gifts, as the chance is high I might not get to eat it. But Santa the ol' rulebreaker just went ahead and got chocalates without choosing one I am allergic to, which is really hard, but somehow he pulled it of! On to the sweets. Ricola is kind of a meme in Germany, because of a commercial from some years back pointing out that the Swiss invented it. Actually had a good laugh about it, stereotypes sometimes seem to be accurate :D

So, I kind of expected a Anime/Manga related gift, as we chatted about our favorite show before, but I did not expect to get the whole Death Note story in one freaking big ass Manga. Now, I have to chose between a the Norton Anthology of British Literature, which I have to read for a class at Uni, and one of the best Manga ever made. Shakespeare might be getting a little break for now.

Finally, the Fnatic stuff. As it turns out, my Secret Santa and I both support Fantic. Him the CS:GO team and me the League team. I can't even remember if I wrote that down before, but he somehow found out who my favorite player was and gifted me a big ass freaking Mousepad with Rekkles (the players) face and signature on it. Now I will have to bring my A-game for the next matches, can't let him down! :D But wait there is more, now Santa will display his absolute gifting masterclass. For this years Christmas I actually wished for a Fnatic shirt. A wish that sadly didn't come true, as my family is kind of sceptical about the whole E-sports thing (I played semi-professionally for two years and didn't become a millionaire, that's probably why). Well Santa went ahead and got me not one but two shirts, and a cap "to evade the shipping fee". The cap is a lifesaver, I just shaved my hair because of allergy reasons and because I had no idea what to do with it. Now I can just hide it in style!

All of this is just generosity on a whole other level, I can't even put into words how much I appreciate a complete stranger gifting me so much insanely cool stuff. But, with great power comes great responisbility. I will definitely attend Secret Santa again next year to try and make someone a present s good as this. An impossible task, but heck I will try!

After opening everything I wondered wether or not my Santa is some kind of filthy rich famous person. Turns out, he is just an amazing and kind dude who loves to give. Getting a gift this size from someone who is not Bill Gates is honestly mindblowing. 10/10 would love to match again!

A bigass freaking "Merci vilmal" and "E frehliches Wihnaacht un gleckliches nejohr",

Oh yeah, another thing to show you the caliber of Santa we are talking about here. He sent the package on the MORNING of his BIRTHDAY. How selfless is this guy?
