My Reddit Santa was so incredibly thoughtful and generous--I was stunned to receive several presents! I was so touched that they read my (super overly wordy) profile and at least some of my post history and put a lot of thought into picking amazing presents for me! I honestly teared up when I first sat down to write this a few days ago (when trying to upload the photo, my laptop crashed and I lost everything I wrote, which is why I’m being smart this time and writing it in a word document), because someone out there in the world who I’ve never met went so above and beyond to make my Christmas really special.

I had mentioned in my profile that I started DMing a Dungeons and Dragons campaign over the summer, and my Santa got me an official Dungeon Master Screen to hide my secrets behind and several sets of dice with velvet pouches! I can't wait to pass these out to my players at our next session. I also mentioned in my profile that I liked snuggling under a blanket on the couch with my husband and son while watching movies, and my Santa got me a huge cozy blue throw, which has already been put to great use during this recent cold snap!

I made it very clear in my profile that I love Harry Potter (and mentioned that I am a Ravenclaw), so I was thrilled to be sent an official Ravenclaw scarf! I own Ravenclaw robes already, but I didn’t have an official scarf, just a knockoff with the wrong colors. The one my Santa sent me was even nicer than the scarves at the Wizarding World park!! It is super long and plush and has screen-accurate colors. It was so obvious that my Santa looked at a lot of scarf options online and went out of their way to pick one with great reviews and a great look. I have already been wearing the scarf everywhere!

Last but not least, my Santa sent a large Bullseye plush (Woody’s horse from Toy Story 2) for my 18-month-old son! I was definitely not expecting a gift for him! I briefly mentioned in my profile that my son had seen Toy Story a lot, and I think it was in my posting history somewhere as well. What I didn’t say was that my son is OBSESSED with Toy Story: his 1st birthday party was Toy Story-themed, he was Buzz Lightyear for Halloween this year, and he has seen the movies hundreds of times (for many months, it was the only thing he would actually watch, period). He has Woody and Buzz already, but he didn’t have Bullseye, so my Santa again proved to be a psychic! He absolutely loves his Bullseye toy--I thought about waiting and giving it to him on Christmas morning, but he was there when I opened my RSS package and he gave such a huge grin when he saw Bullseye that I just had to pass it over right there for him to hug!

Thank you so much again, Santa! You are really a special and wonderful person, and you hit it out of the ballpark with your gifts!
