My Secret Santa is Awesome! The Mini PP's were pleased.

I'm American, but live and work in Turkey. Because Christmas isn't celebrated here, UPS was open and they delivered my Secret Santa gift on Christmas Day. Thanks, @Valron!

I love how precautious he was with the packaging.

Oooh, fun. He numbered them. You can definitely see he's put time and effort into the wrapping.

Yes! I now have a piece of internet meme culture. The horse head is great!

Let's see what number 2 has in store for us.

At first glance, I thought it was a book about types of birds. I was so pleasantly surprised after skimming through it and realizing what it really was (glad I did that before the kids started reading it). The birds in this book tell some of the craziest anecdotes. The following several images are a few of my favorite captions to each anecdote.

Wait... I can't find gift 3. It jumped to 4. At this point, I'm thinking it might have been taken at customs coming into the country. I decided to move on and solve that mystery later. Anyway, ooh, small package. Thanks for the compliment about my gifs!

Dicks out for Harambe, and the Chivas Regal out for this glass.

Ahh... found this little note among the wrapping. Number 3 is hidden somewhere.

One of my kids found it inside the horse's head.

No gift is complete without a banana for scale.

And the Jackpot! You see, this may be something that, for you guys, is just any old thing you can pick up at your local supermarket. However, here in Turkey, it's almost impossible to find. Maybe, there are a couple specialty stores in Istanbul or Ankara (and at ludicrously high prices), but it's nowhere to be found within hundreds of miles from me. We haven't had a real pancake with maple syrup meal in 4 years! I know, right?! That should be a crime. But now we have it. That sweet, sweet gold!

Thank you so much, @Valron! You've given us the best Christmas Day. No words can express how much the kids enjoyed the maple syrup, so I submit to imgur the following gif...
