So when I first read that one of the packages was something that every man should know, and not to take it the wrong way, I was thinking it might be something weird that my girlfriend shouldn't see. I decided that I should open the small cloth-like present first. To my elation, it was a bundle of awesome mix and match socks. My girlfriend and I are going up north in a couple days, and I was worried about having to make my one pair of socks last the entire week. But now, my feet will be happy, and my dog even got my entire old sock collection to herself.

With the sexy socks out of the way (high five for alliteration) I moved on to the ominous package. I opened it with hesitation, but was surprised to see the book "stuff every man should know." Far from being offended, I was happier than a... well... I was pretty happy. My dad is the lovingly - detatched type, so we didn't go fishin' and campin' and tire changin' and red neckin' together, but now I know how to do all that stuff. To celebrate, I used its cooking tips and made an awesome steak.

In conclusion, thank you Janis, your gifts were awesome! Happy reddit christmas!

Just when I thought my reddit Christmas was over, I got a package from Amazon. I only watch TV shows on Netflix, so I hadn't gotten to watch the Big Bag Theory yet despite its nerd acclaim. I got season one in the mail! Woohoo! Thank you!
