You know you're in for a treat when a 22 pound package is dropped off at your door, especially from Baltimore, MD!

The day went like this: we had workers at our apartment remodeling the place and my girlfriend got home before me. She sent me a text saying "the workers brought your Reddit package in." My first thought was "Awesome! Can't wait to see what I got!" but my instant second thought was "huh, I wonder what's special about this one as they left the other ones outside before..." When I got home, I ran straight for the quarantined room (away from the dust) where the package sat. There, on my dresser, was 22 pounds of... mystery. As soon as I saw it I knew why the workers brought it in - neat Snoo was drawn on the address label! The return address only said "Resident" and tracking labels covered the box.

I opened the box and was greeted by a very thoughtful and heartfelt letter + card from my Secret Santa. Underneath were some Utz chips, a sturdy CAT backpack, and a coffee mug (that will definitely be used since my old one broke!!!). But then, just like Link opens a treasure chest in LoZ and it glows, the same happened here. Upon removing the packing paper, there sat the most beautiful things I've ever seen. It. Was. Beer. Two 6 packs! Straight from Baltimore! I looked to my Santa's trusty letter which stated that both of these beers are "Baltimore traditions". [By the way, Natty Boh is amazing!] Speaking of Baltimore traditions, a can of Old Bay was also included with a recommendation to use on shrimp! My Santa knows I love to cook so I cannot wait to try this on a variety of different things too! Next to them was a bag of noodles, straight from Italy, as when my Santa chose me he or she was in Italy!

At that point I was already overwhelmed with emotions! But then, one final thing still await me on the bottom of the box. A coffee-table book called "Over Europe" with different pictures and history/facts about different places in Europe.

Santa, I hope you're reading this, because you've hit it out of the park! Thank you for the gifts and thank you for letting me get a small taste of Baltimore!

And if you scroll to my last picture - Cheers!
