Holy f'n Christmas gift-a-thon. Santa... you fat, jolly, ridiculously generous elf...

So, I've had some good redditgifts exchange experiences. In fact, none negative to speak of. This though, this takes the cake. Or the pie. Or the meat and pie. Hell, it takes the whole damn fridge!

My Santa did one of my favorite things and immediately won my heart by messaging me a greeting at the start of the exchange. He said he'd be shipping in the next few days but lo and behold I got a follow-up message the next day that shipping was already taking place!

Due to the care instructions (no feeding after midnight, no bright lights, don't get him wet) my Santa gave me a little general insight as to what was headed my way and it would need to be refrigerated upon receipt. Based on the information provided, I had a pretty solid image in my head of what I was expecting.

What I forgot, rather, didn't know... is my Santa is a ridiculsouly beyond generous, giving, gift sending, holiday freaking madman!

My package contained the following amazing assortment... a shoofly pie (I'd never heard of it), two packs of bacon, spicy smoked meat sticks, multiple artisan bologna rolls, and two loaves of an item I've seen featured on Food Network multiple times and seriously been wanting to try for years now.... SCRAPPLE!

I immediately did what any red-blooded American would do. I started chewing on a meat stick while I heated up the skillet to put on some damn SCRAPPLE! It's freaking awesome. We sliced up the shoofly and had small pieces for dessert. Guess what? Freaking awesome. Everything we've tried so far? Freaking awesome. My Santa? FREAKING AWESOME!!!

I look forward to trying the rest. Santa, can't even begin to thank you for your remarkable generosity and perfect gift selection. I wish you and yours the very best this holiday season, you've started ours out with a meaty delicious bang!
