Wow. Just... wow! I'm so thrilled with my gift! My Secret Santa went all out! I can only assume my comment history was stalked a bit, and a plan formed.

The scene: I'm relaxing on my couch, watching a favorite movie (Stardust, no lie) for the umpteenth time, and working on my latest knitting project. I'm interrupted by FedEx at my door. I'm handed a box, and I realize... it's from my Reddit Secret Santa! I hurriedly open the box, and I find a lode of presents!

But first, I see a note:

"MERRY CHRISTMAS! I've collected a lot of random things that I hope you'll like! I went off a theme -- bonus points if you can get it! I don't want to chain you to any idea, but maybe a light will help your travels. And, you never know when a helpful animal friend may save you."

Hmmm... I'm barely able to maintain my curiosity. Just what will I find?

I pick the largest and heaviest wrapped item. I open it, and... a candle. Smells great, and I love candles. Score one to Secret Santa. Next biggest item is a cute stuffed unicorn!

I'm starting to get a glimmer of an idea, but... surely not. Did my Secret Santa really...? It must be me being too wishful, especially since I was right in the middle of watching Stardust... right?!

Next up, several wrapped items that look suspiciously like books. (And I love books!) I open them, and there's definitely a theme emerging... three by Neil Gaiman, who is a favorite author, including... STARDUST! Now I know I'm on to the theme mentioned! It all is starting to make sense!

I quickly unwrap everything, which includes a Star Wars book (another favorite!), yarn (and in my favorite color, no less!), a container of space dust (ha!), and... a necklace! One very much like what is in Stardust, in fact.

My Secret Santa has taken a favorite movie and basically given me a group of things that are related to it. I'm thrilled! It is so thoughtful and considerate. The crazy part is I'm opening all these things as the movie is playing!!

I have everything I need to have a wonderful adventure like in the movie -- a "Babylon" candle to light my path, a unicorn to help me on my way, a necklace to show off, and the book. Not to mention the other things that either tie in or add to the overall effect.

This is all so cool!!

My Secret Santa, MissyAlice, did an amazing job! It has totally made my holiday. :)
