So I just opened my gift from my secret Santa regifter. I was absolutely blown away. I could not have hoped for a better secret santa! I am grateful that my first secret Santa flaked on me. I have been constantly looking at the secret santa sub and seeing all the amazing reactions to well thought out gifts. As far as a gift, I didn't care what it was. It could have been hand made or store bought. I just hoped someone would take the time to get to know a little about who I was. Let me just say that my secret Santa put it out of the park! I would read posts about giftees saying how they had no idea how their santa knew what to get. Honestly, I was skeptical. I am no longer skeptical! I am a married father of three who needs some adventure. I have decided to do a backpacking trip in southern Illinois alone. I don't think I have posted about it in any backpacking/ camping subs. This is why my gifts truly blew me away! I am a 40 year old man who is tearing up still! I received a backpacking hammock, a backpacking stove, Justin's peanut butter packs ( hiking food), and some scrapers for woodworking. I am freaking blown away by both the thought of the gifts, and the generosity! My secret santa have me more than just a gift. They helped me get closer to doing something I have wanted to do my entire life. Now if I don't go on this backpacking trip, I will not only be letting myself down, but my secret Santa as well. Thank you whoever you are! Looks like I will be picking up my game for the next exchange.
