When I signed up for Secret Santa a few weeks ago with my partner, he told me not to get my hopes up because it often happens that you don't get any present. I wasn't really doing it to get presents anyway, I was just excited to send presents to someone (I even asked to be a rematcher!). This morning however, my Secret Santa messaged me to say that my presents were on the way - so I allowed myself to get excited! Then, I went to work and forgot all about it. I came home early from work - and when someone rang the doorbell, I remembered about Secret Santa and got all excited again! I had just received my first presents from a complete stranger! And they got it all right: colouring helps me get my mind off things (mainly work! - yes, colouring is not only a children thing) so they got me colouring pens (72 of them! I only had 12 before and there wasn't enough choice in the colours, so that is a great gift!), a Harry Potter colouring book (who doesn't love Harry Potter?!) and a nice box of tea (that I am going to try straight away!). Just receiving these from someone who doesn't know me, and know they've spent time thinking and buying these things for me is so heartwarming and I am really touched. It really gives me hope in humanity! They have been a great Secret Santa to me and I hope theirs is at least half as good as them! Merry Christmas!
