Seriously. I know that everyone's Santa is the best Santa ever... but my Santa went above and beyond the call of duty and gifted me more than I could ever have expected!

After a really tough day at work (working for the Postal Service during the holidays is super-taxing!) I came home to unwind. Soon there was a knock at the door. I opened it up to find an oversized box with my Reddit name on it. What a happy surprise! My secret Santa should change their name to Amazon because boy did they deliver!

In my notes to Santa, I mentioned that I LOVE spicy foods. I was gifted not one but TWO large packages of spicy ramen. One that my Santa calls "Painfully Delicious" and the other described as "...just too hot... isn't even fun to eat... something you dare others to try" I am looking forward to both!

I would have been happy if they had stopped there. But of course they didn't. Because my Santa is the best.

I collect Dunnys and other vinyl toys. I didn't mention to my Santa that I am a big fan of The Simpsons. My Santa is psychic. Thus the awesome gold Buddha Homer. He now lives on my shelf. I am happy. Homer is happy. At this point my Santa could have stopped and already been declared the winner. They decided to keep going though to the benefit of me...

About a week ago I had gotten a message from my Santa asking about my board game preferences. My girlfriend, in recent months, have begun spending more and more time (and money) playing board games. My Santa is also a game enthusiast and wanted to know what I owned and liked. After sending them my list as well as my preferences, specifically that we really enjoy co-op games, my Santa sent me not one, not two, but THREE games to add to my collection! Sushi Go Party which I have been meaning to pick up for a while, Ubongo which I had considered purchasing at my LGS before settling on a lesser game instead, and Hanabi which I hadn't heard of until today but looks like a lot of fun! Santa, you absolutely killed it this year!

...but that's not all.

You see, there's something else currently in transit. Another presumably awesome gift that I am sure will only go to prove, once and for all, that my Santa is the best. I will update when I receive it but, until that happens, please know how extremely blown away I am by your generosity and thoughtfulness! Also, please thank your children for helping to pick out such awesomeness! You all are truly amazing and I am still beaming with excitement over my gifts!

Happy holidays to you and yours!

EDITED TO ADD:

The second package arrived yesterday! OH MY GOODNESS! I loooooooooove Dunnys and was SUPER STOKED to see the Sket One Sriracha Dunny box waiting for me! I opened it up and it contained the rare empty bottle chase variant! AWESOMENESS!!!!

Also took the opportunity to fix me up a package of the black (read: less spicy) Samyang Ramen and MAN was that stuff delicious! I loved the heat level but am a little apprehensive to try the red version. The black was that perfect balance of 'very spicy' and 'delicious'.

That being said, I'll probably get around to trying the red version in the coming weeks...

Thank you again, Hugh (and family)! You really killed it! Here's hoping that Santa delivers to you and yours! You earned it!!!
