After getting a friend request on Steam a few days ago with a friendly message from my Secret Santa, I knew he was something special. So when I received my gift much earlier than I expected, I was so pumped I couldn't wait to open it (the lime green duct tape added to the excitement).

When I opened it up I found a lot of newspaper, and after digging through I was blown away by what I found.

First, a NY Giants scarf! The Giants are my favorite team and I post all the time on r/NFL. I am going to wear it with my jersey when I watch every game (and hopefully it will bring the G-Men luck that they sorely need!)

Then, nicely packaged in Styrofoam, four bottles of delicious wheat beer! My SS saw the kind of beer I like from my posts on r/beer and tried to get some varieties that they thought I would like. I've actually never had any of them, but they all sound great, so I'm really looking forward to trying them all!

And then finally a piece of paper stuck in the box...telling me that he would be gifting me Skyrim: Dawnguard on Steam! I haven't been able to play Skyrim in a while, and now I have an excellent reason to return to it. Which will be bad for my schoolwork, but I don't really care. For Sovngarde!

All of this was accompanied by a really nice note explaining everything. This is one of the most thoughtful gifts I've ever received. I've been drowning in finals lately, and this really made me happier than I can say. Now I can go fail everything, but at least I will be happy when I do!

Thank you Secret Santa. This was a perfect gift. Happy holidays to you, and I hope your gift is just as amazing!
