The mailman showed up right as the sun set on Christmas eve and I was very giddy to tear right into the parcel. This was an absolutely delightful and adorable package to open. Lots of goodies to go through!

A cute postcard included right off the bat. Lots of various German snacks. Santa, just so you know, I LOVE gummies. And Germany too! Only been once before but it has a soft spot in my heart. I didn't mention either of those in my bio, so it was extra surprising.

On top of that, Santa knows I love heavy metal, and outer space, and included a metal model of the Hubble Space Telescope! That was clever and had me smiling from ear to ear. That's gonna be an lovely new desk piece at work! By the way, I worked directly on Hubble's software before, working on the pipeline that processes the images :)

There was also a jigsaw puzzle, with no picture of the final product. My girlfriend and I love doing puzzles together. So I'm also excited to put that one together with her and see what comes out.

Santa you made my holidays. Have a wonderful 2019!
