My Santa is incredible! I received some amazing gifts that will definitely help make my transition from Chicago, IL to Colorado a lot easier. Not only did I receive a hardcover book about the history of my favorite band, The Allman Brothers, but also a sweet Umphrey's McGee sticker, a ski Colorado sticker, 2 beer glasses, a survival kit and some treats for my roommates dog, Koda! I also forgot to mention, Santa shipped me a six pack of my favorite beer from Chicago that I sorely miss, Two Brothers Sidekick which was so incredibly kind and has literally made my week!

Here's what I got (with notes from /u/veni_vidi_vixi_19):

Beer Glasses - so you can have a nice cold one after a days work or enjoy with a friend

Book - I know you don't read much, but this book is about one of your favorite bands and supposed to be really good

Survival Kit - If you're skiing or doing outdoor activities it can't hurt to have! Im' all about being safe and prepared

Stickers - Just cool stickers I found of stuff you like. Ski Colorado and Umphrey's Mcgee

Dog Treats - I have a dog (corgi) and love dogs so I thought I would include something small for Koda the shepard you live with

After I received all the gifts above, I got another package in the mail!

Two Brothers Sidekick - a six pack of sidekick was delivered to my house over 1,000 miles from where it was brewed after I received all of the gifts above! I never thought I would get the chance to drink my favorite beer at 11,900 ft at the top of Mount Crested Butte!

The book has found a spot on my new coffee table and is amazing. Survival kit is now in my pack for when I back country ski or go snow shoeing, and the Umphrey's sticker is proudly placed on the crown of my ski helmet. koda ate the dog treats (we were both excited), and I'm enjoying the hell out of the sidekicks whether on the mountain or at home out of my new beer glasses!

I cannot thank Melanie, my Santa enough for these thoughtful gifts. She truly embodies the spirit of the holidays and knocked Secret Santa 2014 out of the park! I'll have to buy you your favorite beer next time I'm back in Chicago :)
