This was my first year participating in the Secret Santa on reddit, and I might have been a little overzealous when describing my likes. I threw everything at my Santa, and in spite of my worries that they'd have a tough time deciding, they seriously delivered.

The package arrived just yesterday before I left for work, but I had already let the gifter know that I was waiting until Christmas day to open it. So when I got home from my girlfriend's house for breakfast, I leapt at the opportunity to crack it open first! The box was addressed from California, but after getting a couple gifts in, its origins appeared more exotic. First out were some chocolate-filled koala cookies, and from prior experience, I find them delectable. Also included were some sweet Hi-Chew candies and a mysterious chocolate lollipop thing. While this snack and its labeling were thoroughly unfamiliar, it was no less tasty.

The less delicious treats provided were a super handy 3DS stylus and a new set of polyhedral dice! The stylus has a stretchy chain and an attachment cord so that it's difficult to lose, and the dice are a cool blue, perfect for an upcoming adventure with my best friends. But the coup de grace was wrapped in bubbles and framed: a watercolor and ink painting featuring a "weeping Walrein" and a lyric from The Killers' song "Mr. Brightside"! This particular gift, in addition to its incredible and handmade quality, combines my favorite Pokemon and my favorite band, and fulfilled my jesting wish posed to my Santa. Whoever you are from Trambuco Canyon, thank you, you have done spectacularly!
