Oh wow. This gift exchange was awesome. My Santa was awesome. Everything is, you guessed it, awesome. But seriously, this is going to take me a while to talk about (because of the awesomeness), so feel free to take a gander at the first picture (all the things) and click away from this page. However, I am about to show you a gift that is LEGEND--wait-for-it-because-I-hope-you-believe-in-the-magical-world-of-Harry-Potter---HARRY! LEGENDHARRY! See what I did there? That's what this post is going to be like. But seriously. My Santa was Legendharry. I was blown away by how awesome this whole thing was, and my Santa deserves some serious props for putting this all together.

So you know what sucks? The fact that I was away at college since my Santa said the first part of my gift should be arriving. That was a sad day. I was ready to jump in the car and drive home, but alas, finals kept me from doing so. This being said, I was super stoked to come home today AND LOOK AT ALL THE THINGS! I will paint you a word picture, accompanied by picture pictures, to show you what I have received. And it will be awesome.

Let’s begin. First, I received a letter to Hogwarts. Even though “technically” I’m not supposed to talk about my magic to muggles, I’ll make an excuse for internet strangers (and Santa, I love my Santa). I am officially a wizard. Yessir, it has happened! I received an envelope addressed specifically to me and stamped with the official Hogwarts seal. Enclosed in the envelope were four pieces of paper: my letter congratulating me on my special powers, my school supply list, my train ticket, and a letter from Percy Weasley informing me why my letter was not delivered via owl post. Seriously though, wizards think of everything, so that heads up was great. I was also informed that more things would be heading my way soon. BLIMEY! (Let’s go all out and switch it so you read the rest of this post in an English accent.)

Okay, so next I came home today to a large (unpictured) FedEx box! Again, it was delivered via muggle mail (unconventional for wizards, but still pretty fast) and I was SO excited! This being said, I totally suck and tore into everything as soon as I got home without taking any pictures of everything wrapped so lovingly. However, I did take a picture of the wrapping paper, and you can see that my packages were delivered (or wrapped by, if you’re going to get technical) BY OWLS! Yes they were. That is the mark of a true wizard. I think. There were three, let’s call them “parcels”, inside the package which looked so enticing! Anyway, because my Santa was awesome enough to check up on me and find out about my fandom, they were able to send me some AWESOME (no, I mean “brilliant”) things! (We can’t marry our Santa’s, can we?)

So first, I got a postcard telling me that my Santa was from close to Harry Potter World in Orlando. They went to Harry Potter World just to get me things. I feel the love, and can attest to the fact that my Santa is downright awesome. Then, I unwrapped a large-ish box and was confused at first. It was…a red box? What? NO WAIT! IT IS A BOX OF WEASLEY’S WIZARD WHEEZES!!!! NO WAY GUYS! Seriously though, it’s SOOO RAD-CLIFFE (not Boring cliff, that guy’s lame)! I AM SO PUMPED TO EAT THE THINGS! Next up was a weirdly shaped thing that was pointy in the middle. I opened it, and…HOLY CRAP A CHOCOLATE FROG!!! I’ve never tried one!! I AM SO EXCITED RIGHT NOW! I believe I also unwrapped that beautiful Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures magnet with this as well and I was SOOO BLOWN AWAY! Last, but certainly not least was a Gryffindor journal! Remember how I told you that my Santa did some asking around and research about me? Well, I am a GRYFFINDOR! So I’m totally in love with this.

Well now, we’ve reached the end of my talking, so kudos if you have stuck around for the journey! I’m really sorry for the lengthy write-up about my gift, but seriously, my Santa blew everything out of the ballpark. Everything was SO FANTASTIC! My dad and my SO were super excited to be there for the grand unboxing, and I was so excited the entire time. Thank you so much Santa! I love you very much, and I hope we can be internet buddies now. Much love, /u/danakimberlyy.
