Some time ago my Secret Santa messaged me saying that I should be expecting a package to arrive around December 15. I really appreciated this and it also was very exciting to know something was actually on it's way! My Secret Santa mentioned they went with something cutesy and I had no clue what it would be, at all. For some reason my mind went to a plush animal of some sort, which would be a perfectly fine gift.

Fast forward to today, December 15. The doorbell rang and an Amazon parcel was delivered. I figured it was indeed my Secret Santa gift as I hadn't ordered anything on Amazon myself. It was immediately clear that the gift wasn't a plushie, because I don't think I've ever seen one that is rectangular shaped and quite hard. I was intrigued, what could it be???

I opened the packaging and there it was! A new Nintendo 3DS XL Pikachu Yellow Edition!!! Wow! It's quite unbelievable. I've seen them online before and as far as I know they aren't for sale in Europe, which makes it even more special. It's such a generous gift, it's ridiculous! But in a good way ;) My Santa clearly read my preferences as well, as I mentioned that I enjoy playing the Nintendo Pokémon games, so a Pikachu 3DS definitely fits my interests.

The 3DS is charging now and I can't wait to use it! Update: ran into a minor issue, apparently 3DS games are region-locked, so for now I'm going to just look at the pretty 3DS until I can get my hands on some US version games. :)

Thank you so much my Secret Santa. You're a true Secret Santa as I still don't have a clue who you are or where you're from. You're also a way better gift giver than what you seem to give yourself credit for in your message. May your Secret Santa treat you as well as you have me. Happy Holidays and a wonderful 2018 to you!
