After arriving home from a long day of class, I was so happy to find my secret santa package already waiting for me! I rarely get packages from another country, and was really excited just to open up the package. I found two beautifully wrapped presents inside.

I first opened the smaller blue package, and as soon as I caught a glimpse of the side of the gift, I immediately knew what it was, because I had been eyeing the exact same thing in the local bookstore for some time now but thought it was too expensive to indulge. It was a postcard set with 100 postcards containing production art from Pixar, whose movies I adore and have grown up with. They weren't just screencaps of the movies either, but beautiful concept art from the numerous Pixar movies and shorts. You can really learn a lot about the development of the movies from it, and I really look forward to studying each one individually.

The second gift was a book about postcards of the city of Charlotte in North Carolina from 1905-1950. Inside contained pictures of these postcards as well as a lot of history to do with the city.

A big thank you to my secret santa for making my first reddit SS so great and smooth, and for knowing that I really love postcards. I hope you receive a wonderful SS gift as well and merry christmas! :D
