So now my package has gone from 1) not showing up on time to 2) showing up at the perfect time to now 3) being split up and some of it showing up way too early.
Yikes.
And it's only a portion of it. Sorry for the weirdness here, recipient! If someone gets a few cool little items in a box tomorrow(?), DON'T OPEN IT YET! Keep your grubby little hands off your Christmas presents for another week or two, or at least til the rest comes...

I guess I am the first one to receive their gift so far so here it goes! A couple months back Every Time I Die announced their last tour until 2020 so I KNEW I had to go. The closest they were coming to me was St Louis but I had an obligation so I couldnt make that one then decided on going to Atlanta. I knew Corvus lived there so I hit him up and he immediately agreed to go with me. Had a fucking blast at the show with him, couldn't have asked for a nicer guy to meet! The bands were awesome, got to FINALLY meet a fellow mosher and it made for a fantastic trip to go see my all time favorite band. Just so happens after the show he mention he wanted to show me something so we went to the parking garage..... hahah, just kidding, nothing weird! Anyways, we get to this car and he revealed that he got me for Secret Santa this year. What a crazy and random happening! Thanks for hooking that up Zeke ! Corvus REALLY outdid himself, what cool gifts and even better that he got to reveal it when I was in town to meet up with him. I fucking love this strange and weird website where I have made some awesome friendships and had great conversation. Cannot wait to have some of this bourbon and spin this Soul Search 7". Cheers Corvus, and thanks again for going to the show with me!

Cheers Corvus, and thanks again for going to the show with me! Glad you like it man! A quick detail I may have forgotten to mention to you - all of those drinks are brewed here in Georgia, most of them in the Atlanta area! These are all some of my favorites (especially the Red Hare on the far right) - I hope you enjoy at least a few of them haha!

Well I was gonna wait til closer to Christmas to open this but I got a box on Saturday and v9733xa implied there was more to come, but after staring at that first box for damn near a week I broke down and opened everything tonight, what can I say I'm weak of spirit. THE BOOK: This was what I was really hoping for when I made my little list thingy, it's a special 10 year anniversary edition of one of my favorite books The Name of the Wind by Patrick Rothfuss. It has tons of additional information about the book and author insights and a whole bunch of awesome artwork. I don't know if I'll ever actually read this edition in risk of damaging it but I'll admire it long time. Thanks bro, you could have honestly just sent this and I would have been happy. He also sent out an awesome Doctor Who mousepad which is replacing my current awful one at work literally tomorrow, I didn't mention I needed a new mousepad because I didn't consider it but honestly the second I opened it I got pumped. I also don't know how you knew I needed coasters, but These Steeler's coasters are already out, I had been using shitty magazines for awhile. I decorate my apartment with soccer scarfs and I can't just use Arsenal, USMNT, and Columbus Crew for everything so I've been adding teams that I like that aren't my main teams to the collection and I already know where this Dortmund one is going to go. And then comes the World of Warcraft Pop Figure, I mentioned nothing about WoW in my message which means this sly fucker went through my forum posts for inspiration, well done. I had a ton of fun with Secret Santa this year and can't wait to making it a tradition. I think the most fun part was not knowing what's coming, with my family I have a really good idea of what I'm getting every year and while I appreciate it, the unknown fun factor has been lost on me and this brought that back. v9733xa well done sir, you did a fantastic job. A Merry Christmas to you and everyone else here in The Mosh.
