My Santa is absolutely amazing!

I got home today and found a package from Florida Massachusetts waiting for me. My mom was curious about the package, because I had told my mom about the exchange beforehand, she was still a bit confused and suspicious to what it was. Still, she seemed excited as well and took part in opening it while I explained the exchange even further.

The first thing we opened was the flask! For some reason, my mom is okay with internet strangers sending her teen daughter flasks with aliens on them. I'm not a drinker (yet), but I love this gift and can't believe it's the size of my head!

We were both curious about the second package because of its shape, but it was a GIANT mug! Even bigger than the flask! My santa is so creative and put "Do ALL the things!" in the side. This mug will be my new go-to motivator when I start procrastinating on assignments.

Lastly we opened the third gift, which my mom guessed correctly to be a blanket. I love it! It is SO SOFT and cuddly! I love the color and pattern on it as well. This is perfect timing as well because the temperature in the area dropped to the 30s today, so this will help me stay warm!

Something that I want to tell my Santa is that this gift means so much to me on its own, but is especially well received today. In your letter, you said that these gifts were chosen because they're good for college life. Earlier in the week, I was freaking out because I was sure that I was going to fail one of my classes. Additionally, my mom and I got into an argument that left us on bad terms with each other. It was a pretty low time. However, today everything picked back up. I talked to my teacher and got my graded picked up, plus an opportunity to makeup an assignment. I'm not failing anymore and I'm so relieved! I'm also finally done with school for the semester, and got my finals done today. My grades in other classes and finals are solid, not spectacular, but definitely what I'm happy with. With my mom, we spent the last two days not speaking to each other, but today we reconciled over dinner. Then getting this gift really was the cherry on the cake on such a good day.

Santa, thank you SO much for putting in so much effort on this gift! This was my first reddit exchange and I had a BLAST thanks to you! It was such a positive experience with both giving and receiving. I hope you have an awesome holiday break as well, because you sure deserve it!
