I was matched with a Secret Santa from The Land of the Midnight Sun, also known as Norway, and boy did I luck out.

I was first greeted by wrapping paper celebrating one of my favorite football team's primary rivals along with a meme of one of the writers of Game of Thrones explaining that my Secret Santa kinda forgot my favorite team. Subverted.

I was then presented a very official portrait of the king, His Majesty Kong Harald V, but my Secret Santa was not actually the King of Norway. Subverted.

However, this commoner gifted me with some very extraordinary "common" gifts that are traditional to Norway. I can't wait to dive into these delectable treats. I was expecting something akin to the New Zealand vegemite I received last year, but these look amazing. Subverted.

Thank you, kind stranger. I am totally blown away by your generosity. Merry Christmas and much love from Chicago, IL, USA.

p.s. I don't think I've ever encountered unrippable wrapping paper before. Subverted.
