After a long week of work, it was good to sleep in this Saturday morning. As is usual for a 20 year old male with no current responsibilities outside of work, I did the right thing and slept in 'til noon. I crawled out of bed, hopped on Reddit and found a thread, full of redditors that would not receive a gift from their secret Santa.

Now, I knew my Santa wouldn't shaft me. Don't ask me why, call it a hunch, or a gut feeling... But I knew my Santa would pull through, big time. Living in a somewhat shady part of town, I was unsure as to the safety of a package that would be left on my front porch. I logged on to redditgifts and saw that my Santa had indeed shipped their gift just a few days ago, within the last three days. I was relieved to see that it wasn't sent out long ago and had been stolen.

I figure it would be a few days before I could expect my gift, which was fine. At this point, it was near 1 PM, and I was hungry... So I ordered Jimmy Johns (Sandwich delivery). Twenty minutes later, the doorbell chimed and there stood my delivery driver. Made some small talk about her plans for the holidays and whatnot. On her way back to her car, she stopped and turned around to tell me that there was a package by my door. I looked down and there it was, an unassuming package wrapped in USPS tape.

I couldn't believe it - Santa had shipped it just a few days before, how could it be here so soon? I thanked the driver and took both my food and the package inside. At this point, I was far too excited to eat. I dropped the sandwich on the couch and ran upstairs, where I had my knife to carefully open the package. I cut the tape delicately, and was greeted by red bubble wrap and the scent of baked goods. I peeled one layer of red bubbles back to find a white card, with my /u/ on it, written with awesome care! It wished me a merry Christmas and told me I didn't have to share my treats with the roommates.

Treats? What could they be?!

Removing another layer of bubble wrap, I found my answer. Inside a clear plastic container, I found cookies of all kinds. I'm munching on a particularly good one right now as I type this, an Oreo cookie that was bathed in frosting, and showered in Christmas-colored sprinkles. I haven't had any of the others, but there are pretzels, and hersheys kisses, and all kinds of Christmas-themed cookies. Looking back at the USPS box I had moved, It said priority mail on it. That would explain why the cookies were so fresh!

As I went to put the box back down, another surprise greeted me from within the box, something I had missed - Below a third layer of bubble wrap were two mystery objects, wrapped in green paper and tied with ribbons of gold. While I could feel that they were like glass, I could not guess what they were - Some sort of vial, holding a mystery potion? An elixir to promote healthy hair? A tonic that turns my wildest dreams into reality? While unlikely, I held out hope. I carefully untied the first ribbon, and found myself holding a tall shot glass, with a pokeball etched on it! My excitement was impalpable, Santa truly had captured the very essence of my drinking problem! I mean my video game childhood! The etching seems to be hand-done, very impressive!

I set the first shot glass to the side as I got to work unwrapping the second. Expecting more pokemon, my jaw dropped when I came face-to-face with the insignia of the Horde on the second glass! I was stunned! Somehow, my Santa knew which faction I played for! Blood and Thunder, Lok'tar Ogar! I now beheld two nerdy shot glasses that I will be proud to drink from!

Thank you, secret Santa! And thank you, Reddit, for making this possible!
