First off, my gifter set the bar extremely high before I even received a physical package at my door. They sent me the THQ humble bundle package which included 7 games! I could not believe that was the start to my secret santa. Unbelievable... It only got better from there. Fast forward a week...

I was awoken this morning with a bang as my local USPS representative was knocking on my door. Hurriedly I threw on clothes to meet my semi-suicidal, and nihilistic USPS friend who more than likely just smoked 4 packs of cigarettes in hopes of early retirement. He threw my package in my hands and stormed out mumbling about "fucking college kids...". The jingling in the box made me smile big because I knew what it was!

Thrashing the tape off of the box I opened it to find something reminiscent of an alien space world. Tinfoil. Tinfoil everywhere. Sitting on top was a chocolate orange (which I have never tried, so this will be interesting...). Next to it was a Jedi Starfighter candy which even lights up.

Now, to get into the tinfoil. After determining it wasn't radioactive or going to harm me I began to open. First was a large platypus dog toy which has REPLACEMENT EGGS. Motherfucking REPLACEMENT. EGGS. This is perfect because my asshole dogs will only find the eggs and eat them. Good thing there are now multiple eggs to satisfy their bizarre taste for plastic squeaking eggs. Going on the animal theme, I then was pleased to see a bag full of plastic cat toys. Gladly I will be experiencing hell for the next 5 years as I will randomly find plastic balls in every crack and crevice of my home. My cats, however will be thrilled to get them. Bastards.

Moving on, my SS must have seen some of my activity in r/adventuretime and gifted me a dvd box set WITH Finn hat! Now I can stay warm while watching precious episodes of AT over winter break. :)

Under that was a familiar rectangular shape, which I knew had to be one thing. An Xbox 360 game! Unwrapping it revealed it to be Fallout: New Vegas which was great. I tend to lag behind on video game releases and played Fallout 3 a lot over the summer, so this will be a great new time consumer. Just in time for finals! Woo!

Lastly, another familiar rectangular shape which I was familiar with. Hulk: Grey! I love Time Sale and Jeph Loebs work and was extremely happy to recieve this book. I cannot wait to read this one over break as well. Probably while wearing the Finn hat...

All in all, I was ecstatic with the amount of effort and caring my secret santa put into my gifts. Last year, I was sort of bummed out and didn't know if I wanted to participate in it again, but this has restored my faith in the redditgifts system and reddit users as a whole. So THANK YOU to Alithiel85 for the fantastic gifts and spreading of the Christmas cheer. As always, time to pay if forward and keep your generosity in the back of my mind. Thank you again.
