So, to say I enjoy beer would be a significant understatement. In a perfect world, I would run a highly successful microbrewery that supported me and many of my friends and produced gloriously high quality beer. However, I am a 23 year old with a BA in Philosophy and Government, so the funds (and skills) necessary for the production of delicious beer on a large scale are significantly lacking. As such, for the time being I must settle for simply make due enjoying the glorious nectar of the gods. Luckily my Secret Santa, Katami, was more than willing to help.

Initially she/he/they (it's honestly unclear to me, and unimportant, for regardless they/he/she is a glorious person/pluralize that shit yourself) sent the package to my apartment. Unfortunately, UPS isn't the greatest and, being that I work during the hours they deliver, I missed the chance to receive my package 3 times and it therefore returned to Massachusetts. Luckily, Katami and I made arrangements thereafter for the package to arrive at my mother's house. A day later, I received several text messages and an email from my mother regarding the bizarre package I received, "shipped in an Amazon.com box but with some sort of weird alien on it and some reference to that weird reddit site you like."

I opened the package (heeding the instructions to do so with care) and inside found "The Craft of Stone Brewing," a Great Divide Brewery glass, Miller Lite coasters, and Dogfish Head Soap, along with a note explaining why each gift was purchased for me. For those who get hung up on these things: At one point I listed Stone, Great Divide and Dogfish Head as my three favorite beers. I have an intense, perhaps (partially) irrational hatred for Miller Light (watch there ads. C'mon.). So, these loves and aloves were combined into the perfect reddit Secret Santa gift. I can't thank Katami enough, she/he/they made me elated, caused my girlfriend to stress because internet strangers were able to give me such an appropriate gift, and reminded me why I love reddit so.

If you're concerned with this description rambling, blame Katami. They enabled me.

Merry KwanHuRaMas.
