On December 12th, the day of the shipping deadline, I got an anonymous message from my Secret Santa saying that they would need just a little longer with their gift, but that they were already "adding the finishing touches". Naturally I was intrigued.

Days went by, and on the 15th I finally got the notification that they had shipped it. "Damn," I thought. "This will never get here on time before Christmas."

But then I got an excited call from my girlfriend today that a package for 'Noyen' had just been delivered - Fuck, and I was stuck at work for another nine hours.

Finally I got home a few minutes ago, and what awaited me completely blew my mind.

sundayfunday: THANK YOU SO, SO MUCH. You obviously took the time to find out what I'm into, and you EVEN MADE ME A JAYNE HAT!!

I'm still absolutely in awe.

She got me: - a nice Reddit bacon card that will hang on the wall next to my desk from now on - "Narwhal Horns" candy (heh) - a screaming Flying Flingshot Monkey, which my girlfriend can't seem to be able to put down or stop laughing about (she needed that after this week - thank you :)) - an official Arrested Development merch t-shirt with the Bluth family crest! Hoo-lyy fuck! I'm torn between wanting to wear nothing else and framing it to hang it on my wall... ;) - a hand-made hat, just like Jayne's in Firefly! Nerdgasm, anyone?

I'm actually getting emotional typing this. So much kindness and awesomeness, from a complete stranger over 6,000 miles away!

So, sundayfunday, I send my thankful, kindest regards to Santa Monica and I sincerely hope your days are bacon-filled as well, and that your Christmas is just as fantastic as you've just made mine.

Forever yours, -Noyen
