i know this isnt a contest, but im gonna go there, and say my secret santa is better than your secret santa.

he went back and read a comment i posted over 4 months ago (http://www.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/ctwt4/what_made_you_happiest_when_you_were_a_kid/c0v9mbg), and completely recreated that happiness feeling for me. i did my best, and did not shed a single manly tear, but as i was explaining the whole reddit secret santa thing to my sister, and the meaning of this casey jones action figure, i could see her eyes watering up. she thinks this is the coolest thing ever, and how a complete stranger can make ppl feel this amazing.

thats not even the end of it. he even sent me a toronto maple leafs gnome and tree ornament (http://imgur.com/QzqpN&tnpnD). he said he sent it because he wanted to make sure i got something, in case his second gift (the casey jones action figure) somehow didnt make it to me. i now suspect that it was to lower my expectations, for when the second gift came. but jokes on you FrankieForte, my neice LOVES the gnome, and she even slept with it the first night. so it wasnt just "filler".

dylan, you are the epitome of what this whole secret santa exchange is about, and there is no way you could have topped this. if the reddit secret santa needed a spokesperson, you sir, would have my upvote.
