I had come home early from work today, the sun is shining, my son's are playing outside, my husband is working from his phone and there's me.. just wanting to relax before the craziness of christmas eve kicks in tomorrow morning (I live in NZ) and right at this moment I am desperately craving a cold beer in this hot weather.

I had honestly thought I had been given a false secret santa (as per past SS) and resigned myself to not receiving anything. Not that I was complaining, I was preparing myself. Not long into my 'unwinding time' the courier backs up our driveway. "Strange" I thought to myself "I thought I had received all my orders". Out pops the courier man from his van, happy as Santa himself, when he asks for me. I knew then..I hadn't been abandoned by reddit secret santa, it was just a long trip to NZ! The courier grabs a massive box from the back of is van and already I'm stunned. They say size doesn't matter..but I can tell you right now, it sure does impress!

I sign for it and gingerly open the box. A beautiful huge pink gift wrapped parcel lay there in the box. I gently pull the parcek out avoiding the cards so not to give the surprise away. My youngest son instantly hops into the now empty box and closes himself in it. 'That's two gifts my secret santa has given me. A giant pink gift and a few hours of relative silence.' I say to my husband (who is also eagerly awaiting to see the contents of my mystery package). My mouth dry with anticipation I pull the pink ribbons apart and look inside. A gift that only I would have dreamed of, a gift that only genies could top. A never ending supply of beer. My amazing secret santa gifted me a full brewing kit!!! Secret Santa you are amazing, fantastic and unbelievably generous. I shall raise my first homebrewing glass to you and will subsequently name my first craft beer benabz in your honour. Thank you and much love

P.S my husband cried tears of joy. You have made him a very happy man lol:)
