I was truly humbled this morning. Woke up after a rather dusty evening to find a package at my front door. Saw a Reddit printout on it and to my surprise, it was an instant hangover cure!

My wife and I have wanted a corgi for many years now (was my childhood pet, and the missus I think just likes their big bums). We have corgi pictures and little toys of around the place. But we live in an apartment and wish to courteous to our neighbours and will wait until we have a house before we buy pets.

I opened the box and immediately was welcomed by a big fat plush Corgi with a squishy silly face. It was perfect. My wife emerged to ask what was so funny and saw its big round butt and cried happy tears. She stole my Reddit gift. She loves it so much.

But there was still more! Secret Santa had hidden a little gem inside the plush corgi. A $100 Gift Card to a restaurant of our choice along with a beautiful card. We're currently saving to buy a house and had agreed that we'd have no pressies this year, have a quiet anniversary, and no birthday gifts or fuss either. Thanks to this card, we will have a wonderful dinner now :)

I am very thankful for the thoughtful gift. I didn't even remember writing about corgis on my Secret Santa Info Sheet. But out of everything I had on there, Santa chose the part the deep down meant the most. Thank you Santa! and Merry Christmas :)
