There is a mystery box waiting for me when I get back from my vacation next week. I simply can't wait! Ill update as soon as I get my hands on it!

EDIT! EDIT! EDIT! My gift was send to my work address because I thought it would be easier - but boy was I wrong! Retrieving my gift from the "we are currently redecorating" pile of mess in my office was a challenge - but NOW I FINALLY FOUND IT!!! Hidden in the unstructured pile of "we-are-not-sure-what-this-is" variety - I found a brown cardboard box with my name on it!

Inside there was a lot of small packages wrapped nicely in paper saying "do not open until the 25th" - even though being in the middle of the month I took my chances and opened the whole lot in a frenzy!

My Secret Santa went above and beyond - and did a marvelous job! Beforehand they had asked me what I liked from the Secret Santa marketplace and I wrote - stupidly - that I liked the print with "the guy on the dinosaur". Wrong phrasing - wrong phrasing indeed! Not only did I get the "the guy in the dinosaur" print - but also a short written introduction to who Abraham Lincoln was, a crisp 5 dollar note with his portrait and a copy the book of "Abraham Lincoln - Vampire Hunter" to educate my European ass! I am so grateful - and the note is destined to a picture frame hanged close to the "the guy in the dinosaur" print in the near future!

In addition to that - I was gifted the "XKCD" comic, a "nom-nom" pig print and various American christmas candy.

You - my secret santa - got it right! My family always gets me crappy gift for christmas - and they are supposed to know me the best! So your gift made it in to my top 5 of christmas presents competing for top spot with all-time classics as ; my first gameboy, a macbook, my own bunny rabbit and a medallion with my grandmothers picture in it.

Albeit being late - merry christmas to my Secret Santa. You did great! Thank you!
