Oh man, my Secret Santa is amazing. First and foremost, there was a little handmade card with comic book characters on them. I didn't mention this anywhere, but the 'Jommeke' comic books were the only ones I would read when I was younger. So it's probably purely coincidental that my Santa picked these out, but it's still super cool.

Anyway, the card comes with instructions! Until Christmas Day, I get to take 1 thing out of envelope number 1. Turns out, there's a bunch of my favourite type of candy in there. I'm going to have to exercise some real restraint to be able to follow the instructions, but I'll do my very best.

Envelope number 2, I'm supposed to open on Christmas Day itself. I can't tell you guys yet what's in there, but I know I'm excited as hell.

On to envelope number 3. It's a book. I have no idea which one yet though, as the instructions tell me I should open it if the December blues strike. There's some writing on the back where my Santa explains that this book made her laugh out loud and cry in public. I am infinitely curious to find out which book it is, but I'm sticking to the instructions!

Last but not least, there's envelope number 4. I'm supposed to open this on New Year's Eve. Santa explains "it's kind of a tradition".

Oh! I just found out there's some more written on the back of the card! Santa recommended a band to me, saying if they had a CD out, I would've gotten it as well. Checking out the band as we speak.

So most of this remains a mystery because I want to honour my Santa's instructions, but I'll be sure to give an update when I get to open the rest!

Santa, if you're reading this: thank you! Can't wait to open everything!
