This is my first Reddit Secret Santa ever and I've been anxiously waiting for weeks to see what happens. My wife ended up bringing in the mail today and she was like "who is PenguinLazy...oh I think your Reddit santa thing came." I might have overturned running from the kitchen into the hallway.

First thought was "whoa - this thing is kinda heavy." I just about had a heart attack when I opened up the package because staring back at me was a box with a MONSTER camera lens pictured on the side (the kind that cost thousands). Upon closer inspection I started laughing because it was actually an awesome coffee thermos perfectly disguised as a digital camera lens. I realized then my secret santa had pulled a 2fer since I had mentioned my love of photography as well as my love (addiction) for coffee.

But my santa hadn't stopped there. Also in the package was a science fiction novel and that's when I knew my santa had really gone above and beyond. I really love sci-fi, but as a new dad I get almost zero time to read...let alone take time to find a great book. My moments are cherished and I live for great recommendations. My Santa ended up getting me one of the most currently highly rated SciFi novels of 2016 and even better - it's the first in a trilogy meaning my next two reads require zero decision making.

Dear Secret Santa - thank you for making this new dad's holiday season awesome!

P.S. Did I mention my santa did all of this while taking finals? #wow
