Not in a million years did I think I would receive a gift like this from a complete stranger. I am blown away by the thought put into this gift and the kindness that has been shown.

In the "notes to help my Santa" section I talked a bit about my wife and kids, and a few of my interests, including my passion for learning about music, exploring different genres, reading about different artists and so on. I also said I have no experience playing any instruments but would love to learn one day.

Anyways, I get home a bit later than usual with the kids because they had a Christmas thing at daycare. They are hungry, tired and its bath night. My wife had to run out shopping so things were a bit hectic but I get the kids taken care of. As we are heading upstairs for bed time I notice a couple packages on the front porch. I couldn't believe what I saw!!! A piano box? A PIANO!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!?!?!? I rush to get the kids into bed and race back downstairs as my wife is getting home. I ask her if she was expecting anything off Amazon or whatever (just to make sure I don't ruin a surprise by mistake) and she says no and then I am like HOLY CHEESE BALLS. I grab the packages from outside and I am literally vibrating like a kid on Christmas morning.

I see its from Reddit Secret Santa and as I start to open them I my eyes are starting to get watery and my wife is basically speechless. Neither of us could believe this was happening.

I started with the square looking package and open it up to find a letter, kids piano mat, learning piano for dummies book, instructions to build a stand for the piano and freaking Bose QuietComfort 35 II's. Picture of letter included. The letter states the piano mat is for the kids and the headphones are for my wife to spare her the hell that is about to break loose, lol! She is over the moon!!! In my notes to Santa I also said I like wood working, so building the stand will definitely be a fun project tackle!

I then opened up the piano box, this thing is amazing, I couldn't believe it. I still can't believe it! The piano is a Yamaha P125B, it is a digital piano with weighted keys and sounds beautiful (my wife can play a bit, I know nothing haha).

u/samuelkadolph, I can't express how amazing this gift is to me, to my family. Not only will I be able to learn music but so will my kids. I am going to attempt to do one of those 1 year of progress videos and post it around this time next year if it works out.

Thank you very much for the amazing gifts. Your generosity is absolutely astonishing. From my family to you and yours we wish you a very Merry Christmas!!!
