Well hello there redditgifts!

I apologize for the length, but I have some important things to say.

Im mostly a lurker however the exchange has drawn me out. I have spent the last couple years surfing reddit, hardly posting. I read all your advice, your stories, and watch your videos. Reddit taught me how to brine my turkey, how to fish tail my daughters hair, led me to resources galore, and most importantly was a place I could go when no one around me seemed to be interested in what I was. I appreciate using the search bar, and searching for something that will entertain me, enhance my education, and most importantly make me feel as if someone out there thinks about what I think about. I think reddit has been my only constant, real friend this year, well besides my S0. I love Christmas so I decided to sign up for the exchange.

Reddit has officially stolen my heart with this whole exchange thing. They paired me with a santa that made me tear. I've had a very hard year. Id say 2014 was the worst year that I've had to endure, so far. I had to move across country with my family, and could only take what fit in the car. I just cant seem to get ahead, and when I do--something else comes up. I try to be the best mom I can be, but somedays all my emotions spill over. I must talk about my money woes alot because recently my daughter started saying to not buy her anything that costs money. If only she understood. I decided to endure black friday shopping so I could pick up a few things for her at a rate I could afford. Of course once everything was wrapped she told me about how she "just knew santa would bring her the elsa doll." To her dismay---Santa did not buy the elsa doll. I couldnt find it. Now that its back in stock, my christmas budget is gone. INSERT Secret santa to the rescue.

My package came today. When my santa messaged me last week, they sent me a message that had a bunch of questions but skipped #11. Today I found out #11. The question was would I buy something for my daughter. AND YES I did...The coveted ELSA DOLL---only because my santa included a gift card to toys r us. Not only did I get the elsa doll, I also got the anna. Thank you Santa. Reagan is going to be ecstatic.

I also got a hello kitty thermos, CHOCOLATE galore(I ate most of it already), nail polish, 2 books, body wash, lotions, candle, socks and lip gloss---oh and a kick ass stocking, thats like as tall as me.

Santa, thank you. Seriously.
