First -- I apologize for being so late with this upload, I'm having a crazy holidays!

I challenged my Secret Santa this year. I'm generally very easy going, and I have an insatiable thirst for knowledge, so I asked my Santa to ensure that my gift told me something about them. I didn't want someone looking at my post history or my Amazon wishlist, I wanted a small piece of another person's life. And my Santa delivered, in spades!

I will not do the letters justice, nor will I properly convey the message of the gift here, so I will just briefly go over the contents. Believe me when I say that the following four paragraphs do this gift little justice, and it deserves better.

Firstly, Santa is a comedy fan, and as such has enriched my drive to work with introducing me to a new podcast, Comedy Bang! Bang! (If you're reading this, Santa, please check out Cortex and Hello Internet. My two favourites.)

Second, we share a love of Bo Burnham, and I received his book Egghead as well as Judd Apatow's Sick in the Head. I look forward to reading these. I recently finished Tina Fey's Bossy Pants, so these will definitely fit into the mood!

Third, the shot glass, which I will use sometime in the new year with a nice Polish Vodka.

Lastly, the chocolates. Santa is a traveler, and found a great way to share that with the chocolates. I love chocolates, and have already made my way across Peru, Venezuela, and Ghana a small piece at a time.

I could not have imagined when I posed the challenge to my Santa that it would have been this successful. Despite your nervousness, Santa, you did an amazing job. Thank you, and I hope your Secret Santa gift was just as amazing.
