This was my first time that I had to request a rematch and my new Santa really went above and beyond with a very touching and personal gift. I'm obsessed with DC Comics, and one of my all-time favorite characters is Swamp Thing (I was a weird kid, I guess). My Santa went and got me a Swamp Thing Funko Pop figure, and five issues of Swamp Thing AUTOGRAPHED by writer Scott Snyder and artist Yanick Paquette. This is particularly meaningful to me, because Scott Snyder's work on Detective Comics and American Vampire (and, later on, Batman and Swamp Thing) is what turned me from a casual comic fan to an obsessive reader of weekly issues. I'll be getting a couple of these issues framed for my tv room wall for sure. As for the Lil Swampie figure, I love it and have been setting it up around the house in places where it will startle and unsettle my wife, so that's been fun.

As if that wasn't enough, my Santa also sent me a bunch of cute DC bookmarks (which is great because I'm always reading at least four books at a time, and I always use little scraps of paper as bookmarks and they always get lost) and a bag of Sour Patch Watermelons the size of my head. Its already made me feel sick multiple times over and its still half full!

I'm touched and delighted at the time and thought that my Santa put into this gift, and I'll cherish it for years.
