This is my first exchange, after years of wanting to participate. It’s been a tough year, so this felt like the year to start and hopefully put a smile on someone’s face, especially during the holidays.

Well, my Secret Santa definitely put one on my face. A big one. The memories came rushing back, the feeling of nostalgia came over me, and I literally said out “Are you kidding me!? Oh my god! This is amazing!”. Then I immediately texted friends and family photos bragging about this like a little kid.

Thank you to my Secret Santa for bringing the childhood joy of opening presents from Santa on Christmas morning to me this year. I can’t wait to share this with my kid.
