First that happens when the exchanges open up is I get a message from my Santa...

"Oh reddit, how you stab me in the heart. A Packers fan matched to a Vikings fan...dies a little"

I knew something like this would happen, but thought I would have to buy for a Packer fan. I try my best to hold my tongue as my Vikes just beat her Pack. (It was hard!)

Having been assured by my Santa that she would try her best I sat back and waited for what would happen.

Three things are being sent my way she tells me. Three! Well damn I thought, this will be awesome. So I "patiently" wait and follow the tracking of the items to see how it goes and the oddest thing happens to one of them. It gets eaten by the USPS monsters and goes into limbo.

So the first package was somehow delivered to my towns post office, then sent across the state and sent out for delivery. Having realized their mistake, they sent it back to my town and mailed to me.

Overall it was worth the wait. The gifts were awesome. I have a new mug to bring to work and show off, a new bag to bring to the gym and playing cards to show off to my buds.

Thank you Santa, this was a great exchange!
