Today was finally the day, when I walked up to the front door and saw a brown box waiting for me on the welcome mat I thought maybe a housemate had ordered something offline. When I leaned down to pick it up I saw my name and was instantly filled with excitement, I couldn't wait to get inside and see what had arrived!

My Secret Santa couldn't have paid better attention to my interests. Inside the box was a GIANT bag of sour patch kids (the best candy ever) followed up by Habrio gummi bears (the second best candy ever). But what was lying underneath these two glorious bags of candy? A combination of three of my favorite things: science, Harry Potter, and Reading. The Science of Harry Potter by Roger Highfield was waiting for me!

Thank you so much Secret Santa, whoever you are, I deeply appreciate the thought you put into my gifts and hope you too have an awesome Christmas! Now if you'll excuse me, I have some reading and candy eating to do.
