 Come back to Apples NTRs, so today I'm doing a very, very special video and this is my TeacherTuber Secret Santa collaboration. So there are so, so many wonderful TeacherTubers who have joined up this year. I'm just so honored and so blessed to be part of such an amazing community of human beings, educators, parents, just people in general who have such a common goal and that is doing what's best for children and just sharing the love out into the world. So today is our Secret Santa collaboration. So the TeacherTubers who are part of this collaboration and who you should totally check out right after this video are, first of all, Darren Nakaki-Hara for always putting this collab together. Thank you so much, Darren. You are the bee's knees. I love you so much. You're my BFF. Big hugs from Arizona to you. So we have Darren Nakaki-Hara. We have Megan Forbes from Too Cool for Middle School. We have Marie Morris from the Capnated Classroom. We have Kate the Sleepy Teacher. We have Jennifer from Genuine Teaching. Fernanda from That One Happy Classroom. CJ from Real Rap with the Reynolds. We have Shelly from Early Adventures. We have Latanya from Smarty Style. Kim from Elementary in the Mitten. We have Michelle Rose on YouTube. We have Bree from Breadiful Teaching or Breediful Teaching. We have Taylor Blair from Teach Me Something Good. We have Miss Jen Jones and, of course, we have Miss Michelle from Pocket Full of Primary. All of their videos are going to be linked down in the description box below, so please check them out to see who I purchased gifts for and to see who all of them drew as Secret Santa. So enjoy the rest of the video. Okay, so the idea behind this video or this collaboration is that we pull names for a Secret Santa for a teacher tuber here on YouTube and then we send them a series of five gifts. The first one is a special handwritten note. The second one, I believe, is a snack. We have some PPE gear and then we have one that says fuel your passion and then the fifth one is supposed to be just a special gift with a $25 limit. So I always go over this limit every year and I just like to spoil my person. So I actually got a person this year. I drew a person this year who I've drawn before in the past. If you watch all of the videos here down in the description below, everybody is linked down below. But if you watch all of the videos, we'll find out who I bought for and they know who they are at this point. So I'm super glad that I got you again and I'm just sharing the love right here through the screen. I also wanted to mention that we have decided this year to use our platforms to do some good. And so for every comment that I receive on this video, I'm going to donate 50 cents toward an Angel Tree project. Scott, my husband, is a police officer and most years he gets to participate in shop with a cop. It's a little bit different this year. They're not really offering that. And so we've decided to adopt a couple of Angel Tree children and donate some gifts to them for the season. So for every comment on this video, I'm going to pledge 50 more cents toward gifts for that child. So my organization that I'm going to donate to is Angel Tree. I just feel like it is a great way to really impact the children in our community and I would love to do that. So Scott and I are pledging 50 more cents toward gifts for our Angel Tree children. So I actually got my box a couple of days ago. And I am just going to start tearing into this. So I don't know who this is from. They did a great job hiding their name anonymous. OK, so the first thing I'm seeing as I get in here, these are Sims cards. So whoever this person is, I think I know who this is already off the back, someone who knows me really well, who I know watches my videos and who pays attention to the things I love. I'm not saying all of the teacher tubers don't do this, but I will be completely honest with you. I am guilty of not watching everybody's videos all the time. I try to watch them all the time. Everybody who's included in the Secret Santa. I try to watch them all the time, if not have them in the background because I just love being a support of their channels. But this person truly knows me. If you guys don't know, I am obsessed with the Sims 4. I'm actually planning on starting a streaming playlist series on this channel. I know I'm a super mega nerd, but I don't care. It's something I'm passionate about. And that is what I want this channel to be are things that I'm passionate about. So this is gift number one. It is a Sims Christmas. And it says Charlotte. This school year has been one for the books to say the least. You've been such a ray of sunshine through online teaching. And now in person, your videos are the ones I go to when I need to smile. Oh my gosh, you're going to make me shh, you're going to give me all the feels. OK, so this was gift number one, a handwritten note. Super sweet. I love the card. I'm going to have to save this gift number one. OK, gift number two, pulling this out. It's another Sims card. I'm wondering if this person plays the Sims and like totally. I don't know. They probably found these online, but we'll see. Maybe they play. OK, gift number two. A little something to get you through the day again. I'm going to have to save these cards. OK, so gift number two, I believe. I'm not sure I'm going to all know. Oh, it's a snack one. OK, so gift number two is supposed to be your either your or your secret Santa's favorite snack. This person knows me. So this is nacho cheese Doritos. I absolutely love chips. I am not a sweet person. I do eat them on occasion, but saltiness is my favorite. I think I've received Doritos every year in my secret Santa box because these people pay attention. OK, so Doritos. I'm probably going to eat those today. Yeah. OK, gift number three. Oh, it's heavy. I think gift number three is supposed to be. Quarantine gear or PPE related. These have been lifesavers every day. Definitely my go to this year. Another Sims card. I'm going to save those for sure. OK, so this one is definitely the PPE related gift day. That was supposed to be send somebody some PPE gear or some quarantine gear. So we've got a bath and body works aromatherapy eucalyptus spearmint hand sanitizer with a little pocket thingy. I love these. I always have them on my keys and then a stress relief hand cream. Now this person probably knows me really well. Peppermint and eucalyptus really helps if I get headaches and I don't get them as often anymore. But this is the eucalyptus peppermint or spearmint hand cream. And I'm going to save this for when I get a headache and then I can use it and smell in all the smells. Thank you so much, Secret Santa. You know me so well. OK, gift number four. I wonder what this could be. So this is supposed to be something that fuels your passion. OK, think of all the fun things you could put in this. I think I know who this is. Oh, that's so cute. A tumbler. So whoever this is knows I love cups. Now, we did have to fill out a little questionnaire, things that we like, things that we don't like so that our person knows what to get us. But this person knows I love cups and my husband is absolutely going to hate this. So I have too many cups. But they also included a Starbucks gift card within the present. So definitely a person who knows me and the Starbucks gift card. Definitely going to be using that probably today. You guys, this person did a great job wrapping. OK, gift number five. This is the special gift saving the best for last. Another SIM card. This one has a yeti in it. You guys don't play the Sims. All of these are from the season pack. You can actually have like Christmas and holidays in the season pack. So there's actually two things part of gift number five. OK, oh, they know me so good. I know exactly who this is. I already know who it is. I think it's Jennifer. I think she I think she's my secret Santa. They got me a friend's t-shirt. And knowing her if this is Jennifer, she probably bought herself one as well so we can match. I think this is Jennifer. OK, so we have a friend's t-shirt. And we have some little earrings, which I never buy myself jewelry ever. I always it's either like gifted to me or it comes in like my FabFit thumb box or something like that. I never buy them for myself. But I love these little studs and these are all hearts and that's really cute because I love hearts way better than stars. You know, I mean, I'm definitely going to dig into these. Oh, my gosh, I love him. Oh, and she went to Target, she or he. But I'm guessing it's a she. It's either Jennifer. I still think it's Jennifer. I just I just I just know I know her too well. And then I also got a little candle and this is a fresh frasier candle. So it smells like Christmas tree. Oh, now it's time to find out who my secret Santa was. Let me put my box down here. OK, I think it's Jennifer. OK, first of all, how cute this is card is Mary and bright. It was you. I know you too well and you know me too well. Oh, my gosh, Jennifer, I love you. Charlotte, when I saw who I got as my secret Santa, I screamed with joy. I hope you have an amazing holiday season. Tell Scott and catch that I say hi. Thank you for always checking in, especially when times are tough like now. Thank you for always being my rock. I miss you so much. Your secret Santa. You are the only person who would make me sims cards. You know why? Because you love the Sims, too, girl. This is just even more special when it comes from your best friend. Gosh, Jen, OK, so I'm going to take this off of the card and I'm going to put it on my Christmas tree this year. I think that's what the intent was. Look how cute this little wreath. Oh, my gosh, I love it. All right, you guys, thank you so, so much for watching and for joining all of us teacher tubers here on our secret Santa gift exchange. I hope you guys enjoyed. Don't forget to go down into my description box. Click on all the other videos to find out who I purchased my gifts for. And of course, share some love with all of my friends here on YouTube. And I hope you guys have a fantastic holiday season. I know that this year is very different than the years of the past. But just remember to find the joy. Find something that brings you joy if you're not able to spend this time with your family or your loved ones. Find a reason to be happy and to feel grateful to be alive, to be healthy, to have a job, to have family, to just have shoes on your feet. Human beings have been through way worse. And I am grateful that what we're going through people are still able to be kind and together and grateful. So I hope you guys have a wonderful holiday season and I will see you in the next video. Bye guys.
