So I got a message saying a package was delivered for me from FedEx this morning, and excitedly/anxiously went downstairs to pick it up. Strangely, just before I picked up the package I got a call from a number in Missouri which I ignored. The package also was from Missouri. It ended up being coincidental, but it was pretty weird.

I grabbed the package and took it upstairs to photograph the unwrapping process. As you can see from the pictures, I had a bit of help.

Not sure what to expect, it being my first year, I've tried to focus more on what I got for my giftee. I put a lot on my "likes, dislikes" list, so I figured my secret santa had a lot to go on.

One of the things I put on the list was that I really liked people who had the ability to make handmade things, so I'm guessing this is something they made by hand, or had someone make?

Anyway, there was no note of explanation, and no mention of who my secret santa is, so I can't ask questions.

It's a train painting on some kind of flat piece of stone or something. It's on the wall now. Any help with it's origins would be great. Santa?

I've really enjoyed participating in the secret santa and am looking forward to doing it again next year. I liked taking the time to get to know my giftee and it was fun to wait for and wonder about the gift I was getting too. Good times!
