When reviving my package I was playing Starcraft 2 with my best friend Phil. We imminently stopped playing and I turned on Skype camera so he could also join in the excitement of what was to come from the box. The box was heavy and medium sized, but size couldn't compare to the amount of goodies stashed and packed neatly within. When first opening it my mother who had joined us though it was a bomb, though I insured her their was no bomb as the mailing company usually scan the packages. Carefully opening it as the box described to do so I slowly torn away the tape.

The first thing to catch my eye was a card lying on top. It said to open the goodies in order from A to B. Although my first initial thought was to tear through everything imminently I gathered all of my strength to resist the urge and proceeded to open the packages in order as requested. I do however apologies that I forgot the order which the gifts were received so I will go into detail of each gift sorry ;)

As I have mentioned that I am an equivalent addicted to chocolate as the cookie monster is to cookies, I always have chocolate within 5 feet of me at all times and as you've guessed I received 3 different types of chocolate! The first was a box of chocolate mints. I claimed twice to my Santa as I am as addicted to chocolate to mints. However I am allergic to them. Knowing this I still encouraged my Santa to send the mints in which I cannot resist. HAHAHHA!

When opening the package at first I could literally smell chocolate and these bad boys were to blame! I received milk chocolate and dark chocolate. Though I heavy dislike dark chocolate I gave them a try. This being my first time that I actually enjoyed eating dark chocolate! Possibly because they were made fresh that they tasted soooo good. I manage to eat them all before the milk chocolate. The chocolates were from a local store called bloomer choc store located in Chicago.

The Third chocolates were 3 candy bars with different flavors YUM! These however were the first to be consumed. All the chocolates where bought locally from his home town in Chicago and the chocolates are slowly being consumed savoring the flavor of each and every bit. Although I do not currently possess diabetes but this might possibly do the trick ;) Thanks!

The next gift I received was for my mention dog Lando. Which yes! Was a star wars reference upon his naming. Good guess!!! He received a Kong and some organic peanut butter. :O! I will post video of him consuming his favorite food!

Next which caught me by surprises was my secret Santa is also a Tom Hanks fan! Wowowow, what he sent me was unimaginable. An authenticated signed photo of Tom Hanks from Tom Hanks! WHAT??? This is imminently getting a frame. Move over lamp that desk you used to sit on is getting a Signed Tom Hanks photo placed their! My Santa also claims to have some fun Tom Hanks stories could he have possibly met the BEST ACTOR EVER?

Now with my heart racing and that magical feeling we get from Christmas I opened the next package. What is this? A sketch pad with bad ass pencils and a sketch book! As a poor college student I can scratch that one off the too buy list. Also I just finished up the previous sketch book and now it’s time to fill this baby up.

Wow, there is so much more to go! Will it ever end? I don’t think my heart can take much more! What do we have here? Ah yes… A book? I hate books… bah hum bug. But wait! What’s this inside of it? A picture with two men? On the back it reads “though you don’t want to see my ugly mug but here is a photo of me and Jim Lovell from Apollo 13, also a picture behind us is the painting done by Lumen Winter. The painting is the inspiration behind the mission path for Apollo 13”. I would firstly like to say thank you for the photo as I hope you don’t mind me framing it. Secondly WOW! That is awesome!!!

For the next gift is something really special, there were no words to describe the excitement and if the other gifts weren't enough is just won’t end! Santa got me a drawing tablet! Honestly a man can only take so much! I will emit I shed tears like big baby, but this gift was everything I could ever want!

The gifts were breath taking and but I apologies because I am WAYYYY too shy to upload the embarrassing photos of me sobbing. I would like to thank you for sharing your story thought out the gifts and history of your city. Wait! Hold on a sec. There is one final Gift? Let’s see here… Email this person to receive final gift. A response! So quick! A some sort of treasure hunt. The card reads that the previous gifts have clues to help solve the final gift. By answering a serious of questions made up from wonderful facts from my Secret Santa home town and my passions would lead to a series of numbers that turn into coordinates. The coordinates when figured out will lead to a special location for an evening of merriment. What is evening of merriment? Oh well I guess I will have to figure it out to find out! But I only have before January 28th. Sorry guys but I got to go, there are only so many days left and it is really hard, I will update date of progress.

I also received a deck of cards which somehow my Secret Santa managed to get a signed card into the deck when it was bran new, I’m a sucker for magic and that blew my mind! And also a Reddit pin to which I will attach to my backpack along with a tom hanks koozie!

Ah at last I've figured out the puzzle but first Ladies and gentlemen I would like to take a minute to thank my SS for all the wonderful gifts that only someone who knows me well could choose a gift for me so well, you blew me away with your thoughtfulness and generosity, Thank you.

Two VIP tickets to a Greg Frewin magic show, a world champion of magic who has won many awards. The opportunity to see a real top notch magician was such a life experience. When arriving to the building I gave my name and was handed 2 tickets one for me and selected guest which was my step dad. We had such an amazing time! Countless magic tricks involving doves, parrots, and REAL tigers!

The show started with a movie of him raising 4 different tigers he owned from birth which left everyone in awe. The show then started with these amazing dancer girls, very pretty! Unfortunately we had to shut off all recording devices so no pictures of during the show but believe me It left everyone one in aw!

AT the end of the show we were guided to the tiger cage where we got a picture of us next to the tiger, I will emit I was sacred but not as scared when we were given the opportunity to pet the one of the 4 tigers itself! Thanks to our VIP passes we also got to meet Greg Frewin in person! Who gave us a tour of his building, all the props he used and his pets. After receiving a picture with us and Greg he answered any of our questions except how the magic was done as he brought the tiger around for all the other VIPS to touch. The tiger fur feels just like a carpet! He have a history of raising the tigers himself and how. It was really interesting stories explaining why the tiger stripes are for down to where they live and how owning they are difficult but easy.

As we left in satisfaction Greg was a really nice guy and he seemed really tired at the end we all thanks him we left to sleep. My favorite tricks were he ate an Oreo cookie and refilled the center of it instantly and a card trick where he spelled out the crowds chosen cards with a blank deck. Truly amazing and so happy that I got to experience something that that.
