So this is my first time participating in Reddit Secret Santa. I had no idea what to expect. I had a lot of fun picking out the gift for my match, and I was super excited to receive the package in the mail from my Secret Santa.

I wasn't sure how much information I should put in my exchange preferences. It's hard to talk about one's self. I can pretty much summarize my exchange preferences in a couple words: college, computer engineering, Super Mario World for the SNES, Amateur Radio, Cats, Steak, Candy. Not much to work with (To my Secret Santa: I'm so sorry!), but it made the anticipation greater.

The other day I get an email saying that my gift has shipped! I also see that it's going to be delivered on Saturday. Since I live on campus at college, I don't get mail on the weekends, so I had the extra two days of the weekend to anxiously ponder what my Secret Santa could have picked out for me.

I just got out of my morning 4 hours of class, walked down to the mail room and picked up my package. I take some pictures and open it up.......

Inside is a Raspberry Pi, an SNES case for the Pi, and a chocolate bar. Dang Secret Santa, you're good! Seriously though, for not having much to work with, you somehow managed to tie everything together into one gift. In case you were wondering, I do not already have a Raspberry Pi. I've always thought of some uses for one, but never purchased one. I feel like I should use it as a console emulator, but I'm not exactly sure. If anyone has any ideas, let me know.

The chocolate bar... well, I haven't had lunch yet, but maybe just a bite.

And to add to the mystery of the whole process, there was no communication from my Santa. No note, no message, nothing.

Thank you so much Secret Santa, that was awesome. Thanks for making my first Reddit Secret Santa exchange awesome. And because of the excitement I had opening the gift, I just decided to sign up to be a re-matcher. Thanks!
