I received my gift today from my secret santa after a ton of text messages from UPS confirming, changing and re-confirming a delivery date. It arrived in a very lightweight amazon box and I had no idea what to expect. When I opened it, I discovered an amazingly thin flat pack with multiple items under the shipping label. I ended up with three presents, two of which made me very happy and one that made me sad...but that's not my secret santa's fault.

First, the happy parts - I received a set of Anakin Skywalker lightsaber chopsticks! I've wanted a set of good chopsticks for the longest time and when you add Star Wars, it instantly becomes better.

I also got a pack of mberry tablets (miracle fruit tablets) that I've lusted after on Thinkgeek for ages but could never bring myself to actually buy. I'm going to set up a smorgasbord of all kinds of random things to try with them.

Now for the sad part...The last present was a stuffing free dog toy that had a note saying it was for my pup Pooh and that my secret santa hoped he would enjoy it. My pup would've loved this toy, but he passed away a little over a week ago and I never edited my RedditGifts profile. My pup was almost 15 and had been in good health, but took a sudden turn and couldn't recover. This was an exceptionally hard Christmas without him because he would always help me open up presents and he loved opening his own. He's been my best friend since I first got him in high school :-(

With that said, thank you Secret Santa. I'm going to put Pooh's present in the box that I have with his collar and things I have to remember him by and I'll always smile knowing that he got his first secret santa gift. As for my presents, they're both things that I've wanted a long time and will gladly use.

Thank you again and I hope you had a happy holiday.
