I was so excited when I saw the box with writings on it, especially the part warning of Sherlock Season 3 references.

Then, the note said Santa was also a Ravenclaw! SO I knew it would be great. 'Claw solidarity!

First thing I saw was candy, so many gummy bears that they were a reward for my tiny Calculus class AND my boss thing! And I have it on good authority that they are the "fancy Haribo gummy bears." I mean, it's pretty clear that they were Haribo, I just didn't realize they were fancy.

Then, sweetest gesture: a guide to marketing the book that I really really need to write one of these days. (After I finish my Masters, I SWEAR) And now I have the practical side, and a really supportive message.

THEN, a T-shirt, with two Sherlock references that were helpfully explained in the note--as soon as Santa reminded me of the context, it came back, and it is very funny, but I think the shirt is funny even to people who haven't seen the show, and will be especially amusing on me.

AND THEN!! YES! MORE! A Sherlock reference MUG, whose context I also didn't remember (totally rewatching them with a friend right now) but that brought back hilarious memories from my favorite episode.

AND FINALLY!!!!! A traveler's guide to NYC, where I mentioned I have always wanted to go, but have somehow never been. So many of my favorite fictional characters are from there, and it seems like it just has EVERYTHING. But I would of course have no idea what to actually DO there, and now I do!

THANK YOU, SANTA.

I'm sorry this took me so long to post! You deserve better!

Going to message you back and hopefully we'll talk =)
