This was my first Secret Santa (ever!) so I really didn't know what to expect. But I am positively amazed at how kind my Santa was in giving me such thoughtful gifts. As soon as I received the package today I threw everything I was doing aside, and immediately opened it with anticipation! Once I saw the letter with (totally not anthrax) written on it, I knew I was in for a treat. Thankfully I didn't receive any deadly diseases, and instead I got some fantastic presents!

First I opened the smallest package, which contained a delicious natural dark chocolate and sea salt caramel bar. It didn't last long however, and now has a new home inside the bottom of my stomach. Also, I appreciate the company who makes this chocolate for donating portions of the profits to wildlife preservation. A nice bonus. Also eagle facts!! Yay!

Next I opened the second biggest package (naturally,) and it contained a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Hyrule Historia!! Zelda has always been a big part of me since I was a kid, and I'm excited to read through and learn more about the background and history of the series! The cover and art inside are so beautiful. I love this. It's already too much!

Lastly I opened the final present, and was surprised to find a copy of one of my favorite hip-hop albums of all time, None Shall Pass by Aesop Rock!!! I was so floored that my Santa must have gone through and looked at my old posts to find albums I have been searching for on vinyl. I've wanted to own this in my collection for a long time, so happy to finally have it!

I've already sat down and started to spin this fantastic record, while reading through this sweet new book. :)

Thank you so much mystery Santa, for getting me such wonderful and generous presents for my first time participating in this. It truly means a lot to me, and I only hope that you get something equally as great from your Santa! Lulu the cat gives you the golden seal of approval. You have made my Christmas a brighter one.
