Eeek! My gifts arrived, and the package had a whole bunch of things. And I was shocked how amazing they are. Let me just start with the 'miscellaneous' stuff: a [redacted] University button (Santa might not want the name published), which went straight to the top of my button collection that I keep just an arm's reach from my PC. Then, even though I neglected to mention how much I like Adventure Time, also included was an adorable Adventure Time boomerang!

And only now do we get to the meat of it. There was a pack of marmite covered cashew nuts which made me wonder if my santa actually contacted someone who knows me IRL — I do love cashew nuts and I did go on record saying I wanted to try what marmite tasted like. Needless to say the pack lasted no more than a few minutes.

Next up, as described by my Santa in his letter to me: 'the [Community] opening credits... thing'. And indeed, it's an actual, folded paper replica of it! I listed a bunch of TV shows and somehow, he guessed that Community was the one I love so much that I watched it all the way through 3 times — so that's yet another bullseye.

And of course I saved the best for the last: an amazing book called 'Cooking for Geeks'. I literally don't think there's a single piece of paper on Earth that is more perfect for me. Having recently started trying myself out in the kitchen I was left confused by all the implicitness of recipes. But this book... I can't describe how awesome it is. It's just so clear about everything! I mean, fucking hell, it has diagrams about heat propagation in steaks and all that!

So, all in all, this was possibly the best first Santa I could've asked for. I tried to keep my writing extensively descriptive, so I held off on all the hype before, but OH MY GOD I LOVE IT I LOVE IT I LOVE IT AISDJFHASLDGHAS
