Yesterday night, the last thought that crossed my mind before I fell asleep was about Secret Santa. I knew a few things: my gift was sent the 16th, and it was sent through USPS (thus, from the US). I knew my gift to the US took 10 days to arrive - so I guessed my gift would arrive any day now.

I fell asleep and dreamed wonderful dreams about getting gifts through mail. I woke up to the sound of a van. I instantly got out of bed, and guess what was waiting for me on the table? Yes - my SS gift!

I set up my camera to upen my present (because the best part about giving a present is seeing the reaction, no?). As you will see (or hear?), my microphone broke, so there's no sound. Not that you will miss it much - I was chatting along with my family, who never thought this "internet thingy" where "you spend way too much time on" would turn out to be succesful. They were as excited as I was, and they helped me open my presents (by handing me knifes and a pen).

The box was difficult to open (as you can see in the video). As I opened it, I recognised two "airbags" to protect things in boxes.

I read the lovely note first. My SS wrote he was going to the Netherlands to study in 2012 - Which is particularly cool since I am half Dutch.

It took some times to open the box (as you can see in the video).

The first gift was Carl Sagans Demon Haunted World. I don't think my friends and family could have chosen me a better gift than Catfoodparty did. I have read Cosmos a gazillion times already, and take it with me everywhere. Cosmos can retire now, and this gift will take its place in my bag. It won't find its place in the collection any time soon, but that's a great thing!

My second present was the game "Munchkin" - a game I don't know personally, but it couldn't come more highly recommened. I'm a gamer (real games) and me and my friends will really enjoy this game! The fact that Catfoodparty shared one of his favourite games with me and spreads the joy - it means a lot to me!

Catfoodparty, let me know when you come to the Netherlands, then I can defeat you in "Munchkin".
