This gift requires a little back story.

My mom has always suffered bizarre outbursts of anger or frustration around the holidays, and once she gets started, she doesn't stop. She won't listen to reason and when she's finished yelling, she has typically worked herself into a worse state than when she started. Small misunderstandings are usually the cause of these screaming sessions. It's been getting worse throughout the holiday season, but as a result of today's blowup, I was very nearly kicked out of the house in addition to being cursed at and insulted for an hour straight. Needless to say, it was a rough day.

When I hit my absolute lowest point, ready to just walk out of the house and find a friend's couch to crash on, I decided to hide out and check a few things out online first. I happened to click on my Reddit Gifts account and realized my package had been delivered just a few minutes earlier. When I opened the box, I was reduced to tears.

SS, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. You have made what would have otherwise been a miserable Christmas a memorable one for all the right reasons. I know you were concerned about participating in Reddit SS for the first time, but I sincerely hope you continue to do so in the future.
