‘Secret Santa’ is a popular way of celebrating Christmas in which every participant brings a gift for another, without revealing who is gifting whom. Social media website Reddit has a special feature that allows you to participate in a global ‘Secret Santa’ gift exchange. People from all over the world are matched randomly and send gifts to the person assigned to them by looking at their hobbies and interests.
This year, a Reddit user named Aerrix was in for a surprise of her lifetime when she received a huge box filled with presents from her secret Santa who was none other than billionaire businessman, Bill Gates.
Aerrix got all excited when she received a giant box delivered at her doorstep. Before opening the box, her pets ‘inspected’ the box by climbing on top of it. At this time, she didn’t know who has sent it.
She had mentioned in her profile, “I absolutely love the Legend of Zelda series and everything Mario, I just love Nintendo in general. I also LOVE The Little Mermaid, Harry Potter, League of Legends…video games!!”
As she opened the box, there was bubble wrap everywhere. While going through the first layer, her jaw dropped as she found out that who her secret Santa was.
She got all excited and called her mother while opening the box. She also kept clicking pictures of the presents as she opened them.
When an excited Aerrix took everything out of the box, she found that there were two boxes containing ‘Zelda’ mittens for her and her dog!
Her dog’s name is Claire and Bill wrote “Aerrix’s Mittens” and “Clairrix’s Mittens” on the cover of the boxes.
Next surprise was a Minecraft edition XBOX ONE along with three special edition wireless controllers. It also had a handwritten note from Bill.
The note read:
But wait, there was more. Next gift was a set of ‘Harry Potter’ slippers that Aerrix hasn’t taken off until writing the post.
Next present for Aerrix was a cookbook with recipes of Cajun cooking. The book too had a personalised note from Mr Gates on the inside.
The note read:
Mr Gates also framed Aerrix’s profile picture, in which she was with her husband and dog; and photoshopped himself in it while putting Santa caps on everyone’s head.Â
There also was a Zelda blanket and a paper sword from the famous Zelda video game ‘Skyward Sword’. Mr Gates definitely researched a lot before sending the amazing presents.
Next big gifts from Santa Gates was a Nintendo NES Classic edition video game console, limited edition Halo and all new Tomb Raider video games and Blu-ray discs of movies like ‘The Martian’ and ‘The End Of The Tour’.
Finally, Aerrix put all the gifts together and took a picture.
Thanking Mr Gates for his generosity, Aerrix wrote.
Merry Christmas to all yall out there, and to Mr. Gates, who has the biggest heart and REALLY KNOWS HOW TO TREAT A GIRL TO SOME VIDEO GAMES (and video game paraphernalia)! I’m just blown away by his generosity, which went even further than all these gifts because he submitted a donation to code.org in my name to give more students the chance to learn computer science, which is AWESOME because it’s something near and dear to my heart as my husband is a programmer and my brother has a degree in computer science!
Thank you SO SO SO SO SO SO SO SO much Mr. Gates! I’ll never EVAR forget this Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 😀 😀 😀
This girl definitely won Christmas.
