So. This is my fourth year participating in the Reddit Secret Santa, and I am sitting in my bedroom dumbfounded. A few days ago, I got a message that my Santa was shipping my package. Nothing too exciting, they just wished me a Merry Christmas, and let me know they hadn't forgotten about me! That night, I got a notification that my gift had been shipped. When I looked at the tracking, the first thing that I noticed was the thing weighed 24 pounds. TWENTY-FOUR POUNDS! What was in this box?! On my strange list of things I asked for, I had put "a ream of whatever paper is longer than legal" and I thought to myself, "Hey, paper is heavy, maybe he got me the paper." Nope. When this monstrosity of a box showed up on my front porch I was absolutely in shock. Even more so once I opened it up and saw what was inside. Wrapped in tastefully multicolored winter-animal wrapping paper, my Santa had gotten me AN ACER PREDATOR GAMING MONITOR. WHAT?! SERIOUSLY?! Situated on my list in between "the single softest blanket synthesized by man," and "a black box with a big red button on it I can push and something will happen to show my friends," I had put "a computer monitor compatible with DisplayPort™" What I never expected was to actually GET THE THING! I stood there frozen for a solid two seconds before yelling out "WHAT THE HECK!?" I am still shocked to the core as I write this up. The fact that someone can do something so amazing for a complete stranger... I don't even know what to say but I am amazingly grateful nonetheless. And to top it off, a 128 GB USB stick, just chilling alongside this amazing gift.

To wrap this all up bum dun tss to my Santa, whoever you are, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. This is one of the best gifts I have ever received period, and you have shone a beacon of hope in my life.

Thank you, and Merry Christmas!
