Ok, here's how it went down. -10am, parcel delivered. Wow, it's my Arbitrary Day gift. I wasn't expecting this for another week or so. Problem is that I'm at work and can't open it. -3pm, my phone goes off. It's an email saying that my Arbitrary Day gift has been shipped. Looks like there was a bit of a backlog in the system. Oh well no harm, no foul -4:30pm, another email. My Arbitrary Day Santa has just picked up my information. Phew, I was getting worried there for a second. -6pm, work is over. Time to open my gift. Yeah! Take pics, open stuff up, big smiles. -9pm (5 days later) finally time to upload the pics because I have the cable! So here we go......................

First thing I see when I open is a Walmart bag with a sheet in it and a card on top. The card explains in a nice handwritten note that the sheet is clean and is just there for protection. What's inside? BEER. German beer. Nice.

Underneath the bag is an assortment of gifts. First is a copy of Beerfest. I love this movie. I've already watched it this week. :)

There is also a cool, handmade belt pouch. I like it. It might come in handy. Also there are 2 (yes two) large chocolate bars. A Hershey's milk chocolate and a Belgian dark chocolate. Chocolate overload.

Next is a clock, to hopefully give me more time. I listed on my profile that I have no hobbies because I have no time. It may not give me time, but now I can take a nap after work and I'll have an alarm to wake me.

Lego comes next. A little Creator box. 3 in one tractor. Already had a blast putting one together and then taking it apart to make a different one.

But wait, there's more. A book. I haven't had a chance to really look this over yet. I have a backlog of books. It looks interesting though. A Pulitzer prize winner. It seems to be about anthropology and the fate of humans though war and disease. And MORE chocolate. I didn't even know they made Chocolate Toast Crunch. Super delicious.

Lastly, I got two little metal fish looped together. I played around and got them unhooked. I wondered if I was supposed to do that and looked online. Turns out it is a little puzzle game. I think it looks cool.

Everything had little handwritten notes. There was also another card in there, I forgot to mention. I have them at home and they had my Santa's username inside. I'll post it when I get them. Either way, my Santa went out of her way to put together a thoughtful and chocolatey gift. A+ #1 thumbs up
