I asked my Secret Santa for something unique to them, and they went above and beyond. The wife/husband duo sent me her first fencing mask, and his first Shinai sword.

I think it's an incredibly cool thing to pass on something of such sentimental value to an absolute stranger. It's especially generous and I really, really appreciate it. This is truly a beautiful side of the web!

I think my university has a kendo club, so hopefully I can give this puppy a proper welcome. Anyway, Happy Holidays internet!
