What a day! A big box arrived today and I knew it was from my secret Santa. I wanted to open it right away but I knew I had to wait for the rest of the family to get home first. Once they arrived, I placed the box in front of them and said "Behold"! The packaging was really nice and there was three layers of tissue paper in green, white, and red. It looked really cool and had a card taped to the top. There was a nice card and a gift card for my favorite food...pizza!

I dug in deep and handed out what felt like gift after gift. We each opened them up and were very surprised and super excited. My youngest started screaming "WHOA, check this out!" as he opened his MineCraft toys. My wife was super happy to get a Doctor Who weeping angel (and sonic screwdrivers!) My oldest immediately started putting together his Lego Tardis. And I was amazed to see the Sheriff of Nottingham board game which is a fantastic addition to my collection!

There was more in the box but I don't want to go on about all the gifts. I want to focus on the thoughtfulness and care taken in making this a special treat for my entire family. My secret Santa truly went above and beyond and put a smile on everyone's face. This was my first time doing the secret Santa and it blew me away!

Thank you Secret Santa. Thank you Reddit!

Oh, and the title to this was from Doctor Who! “...there’s something you’d better understand about me ‘cause it’s important, and one day your life may depend on it: I am definitely a mad man with a box!” — The Doctor, Season 5, Episode 1.

Haha, hope you like the quote!
