I am completely blown away by my gift. In my eyes, my Santa won Christmas.

I got a lovely letter explaining all the things.

"Keep learning." A very nifty book. Genome: The Autobiography of a Species in 23 Chapters by Matt Ridley. I can't wait to start reading it!

"Something personal." A mix CD with some of my Santa's favorite songs. I haven't listened to it yet, but it will soon find its home in my car, which is where I listen to music the most. (I also admit that I haven't heard of most of the artists included.)

"Have fun!", A Hex Bug ladybug (which my 7 year old has played with more than I have.) I also tortured my cat with it. =) It is very cool. I have thought about getting one for a while, now I may get more!

Santa, whoever you are, thank you! I loved the gifts and was extremely touched by the letter. Thanks again!
