My first SS didn't come through, but my rematch Santa was AWESOME. First off, not only did he send me some really cool gifts, but my rematch SS won my heart with awesome conversation, or as we joked about: "intangible" gifts. He really made the whole SS experience amazing by constantly making me smile with our back and forth banter.

That aside, my rematch SS gifts were really amazing. I received two gifts before I wandered up into the mountains for a few days with my close circle of friends: whiskey stones and a puzzle ball.

I took up the puzzle ball with me and it provided much entertainment/ frustration/ hilarity for the group. Probably my favorite quote regarding the puzzle ball was when one friend was hunched over intently trying to solve it, another yelled from across the room "you look like you just discovered your penis for the first time." And well the way he was sitting, staring, and fiddling.. that statement was a fair assessment.

I have yet to use the whisky stones, but there will be awesome drunken picture to follow when I do. I did however lick one because I was curious and they looked salty (seriously, look at the picture, they look salty). No they are not salty. This is good for my whisky.

I opened the last gift when I arrived home this morning. It was a $250 jet blue gift card. I was shocked when I opened the gift. Giving someone the gift of travel is truly something amazing. Maybe I'll use it to visit my rematch SS and buy him a thank you dinner.

This is my first time on Reddit SS and it has been a really amazing experience!
