Here's my better late than never update on the CP Secret Santa...
This was my first time taking part, and it was awesome. Used to feel stressed about Christmas when the kids were younger and didn't want to add anything more shopping/ thinking to my holiday plate, but now they are older and just want cash so things have suddenly become much easier.
My still secret Santa dropped my gift off the weekend before Christmas, I was under the weather buy my girlfriend answered the door as my CP Santa was running down the steps after dropping off an awesomely wrapped gift and left with just a wave and left in his sleigh (with a red Flames plate of course) I restrained myself from opening until Christmas Eve and wow, what a cool gift. 24x individually wrapped numbered beers with a letter stating that they are gathered on their work travels from all over Canada visiting their favorite breweries, as well as some details of some of some of the highlights. There was another note inside ID-ing all the beers in case I didn't' want to play dealers choice which I opened- Literally beers from Newfoundland to Victoria and everywhere in-between (and one from Croatia) and some Buffalo hot sauce in case I like beer and wings. I'll be chilling them a couple at a time so I can properly sample them all, and feel I hit the Santa Jackpot!
My Christmas eve drop-off to the famous Surferguy was equally awesome. Was served Egg Nog, met the family and got a tour of the shop and left with some amazing wooden handiwork crafted by the man himself! Filled me with proper holiday spirit for the next couple of days for sure.
All in all, would give the CP Secet Santa a 10/10 and will for sure take part in the years to come. Also going to make stopping by the Surferguy house an annual Christmas Eve tradition!
