Santa (PuerPistor06) was extremely generous this year! A box came full of candy, decorations, and wrapped presents with a Christmas card and handwritten message. Santa gave me all kinds of amazing things from what I said my interests were, and it was a blast to open!

First I'll start with the candy and decorations. Chocolates, candy canes, pretzels, gum, m&ms, Reese's Pieces, and a Reese's Tree, which I may have eaten for more energy for present opening. All candy came in stockings with garlin wrapped around them. I also got a pinecone decoration and snowman, pictured as well. I love decorations, so I've already found a spot for them!

Next came the presents. I had told my Santa three areas that interested me, IoT (Internet of things), board games, and hiking. They went to the effort to get me something for every category!

For IoT they got me a color-changable, phone controlled led light strip. I have always wanted to try these out, as I think they look amazing from the pictures I've seen. Can't wait to mount this in a kitchen or bathroom.

My second area of interest was hiking. Santa delivered with a hiking journal and super bright Streamlight flashlight. I've been in need of a really good flashlight for a long time, and this will be the perfect size to take hiking. I'll have lots of fun logging where I hike too so I can look back at the adventures me and my family have.

My third area of interest was board games. Santa gave me Sushi Go, Forbidden Island, and Catan! Me and my wife love getting together with friends to play games, and these will be great additions to our collection. I'm especially excited about Catan, which is a game I've played a couple of times in the past and loved, but never had the chance to own myself. My wife has never played it, so we will be playing for sure during Christmas. I can't wait to try all the games out.

A huge thanks to my Santa. This was a blast to open, and I appreciate all the thought and effort that went into it.
