Dear satan,
I can't remember if I mentioned this, but Snow Crash is one of my husband's favorite books. I actually learned of its existence from him shortly after I first met him. When I got it he ended up reading it out loud from the beginning as a joke, but he did voices and we laughed a ton. I think we're going to read it that way when we get time.
That also makes the book a pretty great 10th anniversary present, which was Wednesday. 10 years and a nasty stage IV cancer diagnosis for his mom later and I'm STILL trying to figure out how to cast Hellfire when I talk to his parents, so the magic is still alive; honestly though I feel like I would be able to say that with more confidence if someone out there would grant me the damn spell.
Thank you again
And it seems like all is dying, and would leave the world to mourn

The package finally arrived! I don't have to call the post office! It's a Satans miracle!

How can I make such a brazen proclamation? I’m glad you asked.
Just yesterday I was going about my day, living my life as I normally do when I was attacked... nay, assaulted by another present.
Let the record show that I am and have always been allergic to penicillin, as I have made the same “don’t send me moldy bread” joke at minimum 2 years thus far.
My assailant must have known this, as they have forced into my possession... this:
That’s right, I know it’s hard to look at. Now I will always have a length of rope suitable for personal safety easily at hand... and what’s more this fashion and safety accessory clearly declares my aforementioned allergen, and if I am in medical need and unable to speak for myself I am now safe from a well-meaning doctor complicating the problem by injecting me with a drug that would only worsen the situation.
But how do I know who the culprit is? I would direct your attention to the packing slip, in the “order by” field:
I thank my Satan, and rest my case.

Pretty medical alert jewelry is actually a solid idea.

I saw the mailman parked at the end of my driveway earlier and went out to see what was going on.
“I think I have a package for you? Hmm, maybe not. Well, if I do I’ll leave it on your porch later.”
Well, leave it on my porch he did!
Hello Noggin Each day passed brings us closer to death, so I hope you have a fairy bottle or two handy (were fairy bottles in breath of the wild? i never played it... anyway, enjoy!) -Satan
Ominous! I love this art style so this will be pretty cool. Thank you, mysterious harbinger.
Well I guess my gifts are going to be mysterious because I forgot to add my name! ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

J’accuse!

This was my first idea to get you, after you said don’t send me mouldy bread, I said I had to get you a medical alert bracelet and I wasn't sure if you had a more standard silver one.
@Xaquin got me a 4 ounce jar full of Stimutacs and now my physical self feels like it was created from untold millions of minute bubbles, and now Marduk wants for the barren wasteland of my dessicated....
Wait where am I?
Oh, yes! Garam masala and red peppercorns! Not just any garam masala, but some fuckin shit I get to mortar and pestle up for maximum freshness! Thank you so much, my dude!

My pleasure! There are a couple more packages out there for various folks!
Those are szechuan peppercorns by the way!
There were supposed to be notes, but .... well I'm sure they're somewhere in my house or car =p
I was thoroughly foiled this year by the lack of "include a note" options for any of these purchases. *shakes fist at sky*
Also, the double Scream socks was totally because I have no brain at this point in the school semester. I thought the Scream socks were so cool, so in order to find more interesting socks, I searched "Scream socks" to find some places that sold them. Then by the time I got around to picking socks, I had forgotten my logic and that there were Scream socks in the first bundle, so now you have double socks! I'm only disappointed in myself because there was a cool pair of Gustav Klimt socks that I didn't get instead. *sigh*
Anyway! I hope you fun annoying everyone with fun socks!
Honestly, I was kind of hoping he'd left his address in a picture and random people were now sending socks. By the time Secret Satans was over, Raijin would just be knee-deep in a mound of awesome socks. Perhaps being glared at by a slightly perturbed wife. Totally worth it.

Hot dang! I'm frigging STOKED.
I don't know whether to cook with the masala or make chai with it ( ... I'll probably do both). What an awesome (delicious) gift! Thanks @Xaquin !!

My giftee might get a whole bunch of Ninjago stuff because my son watches it all the time and loves his stupid top and I feel like it's nesting in my brain and I'm otherwise struggling with finding inspiration this year.

Like oh no spider ninja just ate wheelchair guy and then white snake dude needed to be taken out by shiny robot with the purple stripes and someone needs to stop Darth Vader from eating golden balls
Also some people were pulled out of a pit by a digital crane, like a building crane, which I figure is maybe a play on words because lol ninjas
I wish I were even a tiny fraction as high as all that makes me sound
ceres on

When the most recent package arrived (which was like a week ago but I have been very busy so this is later than usual), I wasn't taking any chances. I was ready.
Armed and ready.
This time, I wasn't going to let this thing get the drop on me. I wasn't willing to be surprised again.
Its teeth glistened, my own weapons turned to a new sinister purpose, and I turned and fled...
But not fast enough.
It had taken me to the ground and now it was ready to go in for the kill.
I scrambled for something to ward it off, holding it off as best as I could with my other hand.
It reared back in pain, giving me just enough time to get to me feet and to the rest of my tools.
It was blind now, or at least I think it was. This was my opening.
I reached down its throat, deeper than I thought I could, until I found something to grab onto.

HHHMMMMM.
(I won't be off of work until pretty late but I'll try to get something posted tomorrow night or Saturday morning.)

EDIT: Hehe, package.
Show us your package, Ryan!
This is extremely adorable.
A list of things, should you be of the gifting persuasion

Do it! Live a little.. briefly.
Okay.
Maybe I should? Meh.
I always know your future address.
Its my super power.
Specifically knowing Nic's next address.
Knowing what state I’ll be in next year would help me make a lot of decisions right now
MORE SOCKS!
My wife is annoyed at the amount of socks I have now!
I swear she just hates fun sometimes...
If I tell you I'll die.
That's my curse.
The most boring comic book ever.
IT IS ME! I AM THE SOCK SATAN!

The red stuff is sumac. I'd never harvested it before and it tastes good to me but I don't have much of a frame of reference
Edit: chai with masala?!
It’s very good and believe it or not, I literally got down to my last teaspoon of sumac this week, so it’s extremely timely!
Edit: masala chai is very traditional! I add bourbon, which is not.
Also some people were pulled out of a pit by a digital crane, like a building crane, which I figure is maybe a play on words because lol ninjas
