This was my first year doing Reddit Secret Santa, and boy, was I not prepared. My SS didn't retrieve my information for a few days... and then didn't retrieve it again. The shipping deadline passed, and I was worried that my SS had something happen that made them not be able to participate. He sent me a really nice message when he first retrieved my information, so unless he was evil, I thought that something had come up.

BUT BOY WAS I WRONG AS HELL.

I am still in awe of how generous my SS was. I totally was not expecting the amount of things I received, all of which were hand-picked based on my interests. I love all of it.

P.S. -- Dearest SS, I got one person to donate blood but when I went, they pricked two of my fingers and said my iron was too low - by 0.2 points.
