Secret Santa SECRET SANTA 2023

[Ardi41]

Been busy over the holidays so I havent really had the chance to post but better late than never, aye? Thanks a lot to my brilliant not-so-secret santa @Sepp. Really smashed it out the park with not only the diversity of his picks but also with getting me so many films that I did not own yet (which is not an easy feat haha).

A phase stuck out to me during my conversation with Santa this year. Something Santa said that planted a seed of excitement in my head. Santa expressed to me that they had some “Good Stuff” for me this year. When I read “Good Stuff” the hype for this year’s event began. I pondered the possibilities of what the “Good Stuff” could be, & when I finally had the chance to relax, & enjoy the process of opening my presents the conclusion was clear. Santa delivered on their word, & indeed sent me some “Good Stuff”!


My first gift opened was two large reusable tote bags, but not just any tote bags. These tote bags are DragonBall bags, & this is important, because the DragonBall franchise was my introduction into anime so this franchise holds a place in my consciousness of importance.

Out of excitement for how big the bags are I took size comparison pictures with other tote bags I already owned. 

 

 

 

What’s also cool about these bags being DragonBall related is that I had literally a day before opening the gift bought the recent DragonBall movie on steelbook that matches with both bags! So after opening the gifts I was really feeling the “Kenergy” of it all.

 

 

I was pretty happy with my tote bags, but there was one more box, & this box was filled with multiple wrapped boxes!

 

 

3 Luggage Tags, X-Men, Superman, Captain America! I’m a 90’s X-Men kid, Superman is one of my favorite characters, & I’m Team Cap all day! F*ck Tony Stark! (I’m just kidding, Ironman is cool sometimes 🙄)

 

 

Hallmark Collectable Christmas Ornament of Neo from The Matrix Reloaded. This is special, because experiencing The Matrix in the movie theater is the first time I was truly blown away about a movie. That expression “The Magic of the Movies”, or how people explain their first time watching Star Wars. Those thoughts, & feelings is what I have for The Matrix.

 

 

Chocolate Darth Vader Helmet is currently in Chocolate Heaven. It’s been popping up lately as a floating head force ghost sharing with me wisdoms of the dark side. To be determined if this is a good or bad thing 🙂. 
 

 

Captain America tumblr! Like I said earlier Team Cap all day! To hell with Stark.

 

 

Captain America, & The Black Panther post card sets that are housed in carrying cases that look like hardcover books.

Captain post cards

 

Lastly Santa sent me a steelbook! How did he know I didn’t already own this steelbook? Incredible!

 

 

Yep as you all can see my Secret Santa @deckard99 lived up to the excitement! Thank you Ken I really appreciate your efforts, & these gifts will be enjoyed for years to come. Except the chocolate, the chocolate now lives rent free in my head 😂.

I finally received the shipment of my Secret Santa; (unfortunately, it seems that customs liked the gifts and decided to open them and enjoy them for Christmas)😠

 

At least it looks like they arrived in perfect condition.

 

Thank you very much @Veum for all the details, I love them🤩. I have quite a few hours of viewing ahead of me enjoying everything while I finish off all those candies😋

 

Thanks to MP for making it possible for another year, happy new year!

Your welcome my friend @Noir21 Jaime, it is a relief that Spain’s customs finally decided to let go of your package and did not lose your presents my friend, I hope you’ll enjoy them finally❣️

Sorry for the delay on my post. I SWEEAARRR I was good this year and Santa knew. I was just being selfish and keeping the goodies to myself.

 

Thank you @Jigsaw for these extraordinary gifts! Santa truly delivered this year! Hope everyone had an amazing holiday and got everything they wanted!

 

Not pictured: Warhead Candy Cane (consumed), a lovely box of sour punch straw candies (also consumed), Christmas card (not consumed, but hanging on my fridge)
