Okay. So. This year I got the most fantastic Secret Santa ever. Her name is Lizz_Zero! And I knew that she was my Secret Santa early, because she accidentally started following me on Pinterest. (She's my first follower!) But I could not have even guessed at all the thought and care she would put into my gifts.

She has been throwing me red herrings! Getting me to make a reddit gift wishlist.... asking me questions about the items on there. When all along she knew exactly what kinds of things I would just LOVE from my profile.

I got so many things! And I love all of them!!! I think this is the best gift I have gotten in years. And it was amazing that each and every item was gift wrapped separately...... and in different wrapping paper.

I had an awfully busy and very overwhelming day at work, and coming home to this thoughtful and fantastic collection of gifts made my entire week better! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

And apparently this is only phase 1. I can't believe how special and amazing you made me feel- I honestly have my Christmas Spirit back for the first time in years.

A DAY AFTER THE BIG BOX OF FANTASTICNESS ARRIVED... I got another surprise! When I was asked if I was going to be home at 10am on Saturday... I thought it was a red herring. And so while I said yes, I didn't really expect anything. But this morning at 9:45, I got a call from a number I didn't know... and it was a delivery guy! I ventured out into the cold cold outside and got a fantastic delivery of chocolates and flowers. I mean. Seriously, this gift is cliche for a reason. EVERY girl melts when she gets flowers and chocolates. (Well, maybe not girls who are allergic to flowers or chocolates, but that is a fate too sad to think about).

I am completely dumbfounded! How can someone be so kind and generous to someone they have never met?!?

UPDATE: Remember when the beautiful letter said "#12 .. This is yet to come and the real Santa is bringing it on Dec 25th"? SANTA BROUGHT ME A YEARS WORTH OF REDDIT GOLD & ELVES... and I got a cute lil snoo plush.

THIS IS SO ABOVE AND BEYOND. MY GOODNESS. I've never had gold before. This is the perfect end to the perfect exchange.

Thank you so much Santa!!! Lizz, you are quite the bringer of Christmas Spirit, and I really appreciate it.
