 So guys, today I am doing my Teacher Tuber Secret Santa unboxing video. So I am up here in beautiful Prescott, visiting my family, and I'm super excited about this visit because I got to see Jennifer last night. We went to this event called Akronite, and up in Prescott, Akronite is a night where all of the shops stay open super late, and they invite musicians to come in and play Christmas music, not Christmas music, just all the musicians in town get to come and play music. So it's a really fun event. You just get to kind of walk around the city, listen to musicians, they sell hot chocolate on like every corner, they sell food, there's just vendors, and it's just a really fun event. So last night I walked up to the place where I was going to meet up with Jennifer, and she was holding this present. And so as soon as I saw her, I was like, she held it up like this, and I was like, what is that? Like thinking, oh my gosh, she got me a gift, oh my gosh, I didn't even think to bring her one. And she turns it around, and it says, I am your YouTube Secret Santa. I'm just super shocked that it was Jennifer. It's kind of perfect. I secretly wished that she was my Secret Santa, but I got someone really, really exciting. So I also have a little bit of a story time after this. So I'm going to get started opening. Now yes, the secret is out, Jennifer was my Secret Santa, but it's still super exciting to open these one at a time and see what she got me. Okay, so I'm supposed to open the card first. And there was sort of a system that came with this collaboration. So the first day of the collaboration, you are supposed to send your Secret Santa a hand written note or card. And technically we're supposed to open these one day at a time, but I'm a rule breaker, so I'm going to open all at once. Okay, so the card says, the more I think about it, I'm really glad I didn't end up with Jonathan Taylor Thomas in a shack. And then it has the mash game. That is so cute. It says that she ended up with JTT, which I don't know who that is. Justin Timberlake, maybe? I don't know. She is an art critic in the city of Paris and drives a Jeep. So that card is super cute. It's very nostalgic. And then Jennifer says, so I cheated at the rules and I told you who I was before you could guess, but I can't keep a secret from my best friend. So you would have totally guessed from the gifts I got you and from the return address. I'm so happy that we are friends. And then it says on the inside of the card, looks like we're doing better than we thought. And it says, living the dream. It is hard to keep secrets from your best friends. It really is. So thank you, Jennifer. This card is adorable. It's like super, like, remember playing this game in the 90s, any of you remember? We're fun game. All right, I'm going to find the day two gift, which was supposed to be a snack or a treat. So this is in a little Sephora bag, a keen idea of what this could be since she knows me so well. Oh, yeah. Only Jennifer would have possibly known to get me these because I didn't put this on my things I like list. Guys, chocolate covered gummy bears. These are my all time favorite treat, but I never remember to write them down because they're really, really hard to find. And we have a local candy shop here in Prescott and she must have gone there and got these like specifically. Thank you, Jennifer. I'm actually gonna eat these like right now. Yum. Sometimes you buy those and they've been in the same box as like something cinnamony and they infuse with cinnamon. But those are a perfect batch. All right, day three was supposed to be something from your classroom. So we're going to see what she practiced in here from her classroom. She may have cheated, but we'll see. Day three. It slightly feels like a coffee mug, which is perfect because I need to go make some coffee in a minute. Oh, oh, yuck. It's a coffee mug and it says I love Monday's crossed out, Tuesday's crossed out, Wednesday's crossed out, Thursday's crossed out. Weekends. Yes, I do, Jennifer. I do love weekends. Thank you. Somehow I feel like this didn't come from your classroom, but we'll pretend. All right, guys. Day four is supposed to be a scent. Let's see if she follows the rules. Yeah, she did put a scent in there. And she knows that I have this in my classroom. So let's smell. Mold cider wax cube. Ooh, guys, that smells good. It kind of has like an apple cinnamon smell. Oh, man. OK, so that's the scent. And these ones are way better than the scentsy ones. Those ones don't really work as well in a bigger space. OK, day five is supposed to be a special gift. And we were supposed to put things in our wish list. A lot of people didn't, but I did. Not only because of this collaboration, but because my family on my side and my family on my husband's side were using Elfster, which is the system we all use to select our secret Santas. I was updating my wish list, so she probably saw what I wanted. And I think it smells like something I really, really wanted. She knew I wanted this, probably not only from my wish list, but because I talk about it, wanting to read it all the time. And I listen to the podcast and everything. Girl, wash your face by Rachel Hollis. Thank you, Jennifer. I'm actually probably going to start reading this right now. So there is a little note inside, so I'm going to read this. Charlotte, you are one of my very best friends in the entire. She wrote the word year, so she crossed it out and put world. And then she wrote, seriously, I always mess up. Anyways, I was going to say that you have always been there for me when I needed you most. You've changed my life for the better, just like this book. I hope you find as much inspiration from it as I have. So special. I'm so excited. I'm going to have to take this off my wish list so that my family members don't buy it for me. But I'm really excited. I'm going to read this right now. I'm going to fill my mug with some coffee or some tea. I'm going to chow down on my gummy bears. And I'm going to read this book because it's perfect. So thank you, Jennifer. Okay, so here are the other teacher tubers that are participating in this year's Teacher Tuber Secret Santa Collaboration. Darren Nakakihara, he is actually the organizer of the Secret Santa Collabs. So thank you so much, Darren, for doing this for us. It was such a sweet gesture. We also have Megan from Too Cool for Middle School. Casey Morris from Teaching Unless. Kate, the sleepy teacher. Jennifer from Genuine Teaching. Fernanda from That One Happy Classroom. CJ Reynolds from Real Rap with Reynolds. Smarty Style. Shelley from Early Adventures. Welcome, Shelley, to the collab. And Marie from the caffeinated class. Okay, so real quickly before I leave, I'm going to share my Secret Santa's story. So the person that I shopped for was Casey Morris from Teaching Unless. And if you guys follow Casey Morris on Instagram or YouTube or any of her other platforms, you know that she is 35 weeks pregnant. So last week after I had gone shopping for Casey, Darren let me know that she was put on bed rest. Now I didn't know what this meant for the collab. I didn't know what it meant for my gift arriving. I didn't know what was going to happen. Basically we thought about rerouting Casey's gift to another teacher tuber in the collab, but I felt that that was just wrong. And I wanted Casey to still receive the gift that I purchased for her because I spent a lot of time and thought on the gifts that I purchased for her. So here's the deal. You may not see a video or a post of the gifts that I sent to Casey because she's on bed rest, because she's limited on time. And it's just really hard for her to put, it might be really hard for her to put together a video. She's still gonna receive the gift that I gave her, but it might just be between her and I. So if you don't see a video from Casey on the secrets, the Secret Santa teacher tuber collab, that is why she's just on bed rest, taking care of herself and making sure that her baby stays inside for at least a few more weeks. So anyways, thank you guys so, so much for watching today's video. I hope you enjoyed. I hope you enjoyed the nature sounds behind me. Let me just show you how beautiful my view is. Can you believe that? So gorgeous. So I think during nap time today because Cash did just wake up. During nap time today, I'm gonna pop some coffee or tea in that cup and start reading my book right out here on the deck with this beautiful view. So again, thank you guys so, so much for watching. Don't forget to follow me on my Instagram at ApplesNTRS and I will see you in the next video. Bye guys and Merry Christmas.
