Dear Santa,

This exchange started out with the normal “woohoo it’s matching day today!!!!”, but being in Australia I had to wait for the USA to wake up...so one day later for me.

I received notification that you pulled my info almost immediately, then not long after that another notification that you had shipped! My “OMG” post on Reddit attested to how incredibly excited I was.

A couple of days later, I received notification from DHL my parcel is on its way!

2 days later, another notification...”your parcel is too big to fit into the largest parcel locker there is!” HOLY SHIT!!!! As I work full time, I had to wait until Saturday morning to collect it. I took the gift I’m sending, and lined up...it was a looooooong line. I make it to the front of the line and send my parcel, and tell them I’m picking one up. The post lady goes out the back, comes back and says “your parcel is HUGE, you’re going to need a trolley!” I grab a trolley, and am directed to go to the back door...I line up again. By this stage I am shaking like a leaf.

I make it to the front of this line...and instead of opening the little hatch, she opens the whole door...and I see this MASSIVE box waiting for me.

At this point I start crying.

People around me are smiling, I’m giddy with glee! Im crying and shaking so much. A lovely man helps me get the box onto my trolley, and someone asks me “what is it?”

I tell everyone that this is from a complete stranger for Secret Santa. They all smile and are so interested.

I. Could. Not. Wait. To. Get. Home. To. Open. It.

I ripped the tape off and then I actually saw my gift...within seconds, I was on my knees, my face in my hands, and I’m hysterically crying.

Lovely souls came over to comfort me. I wiped tears away and then saw my gift in all its glory.

What was it????? My incredible Secret Santa, who all I know is works in the airline industry, sent me.... The Ravensburger 40230 piece “Disney” Jigsaw Puzzle!!!!!!!!!!

This puzzle has been at the top of my “One day I will own it” list since I first saw it. Santa, magic comes in all shapes and sizes. YOU have made me so incredibly happy, thankful and tearful.

I have plans for this puzzle. I have always wanted it so i can put it together, and then have it mounted. I am then going to donate it to the Royal Childrens Hospital, here in Melbourne. I cannot express how grateful I am to you Santa. I will say, my offer to show you around my beautiful city when you do make it to MEL is true and sincere. May you, and yours, have the most beautiful Christmas. I thank you again.
