I already know who she is based on the address on the package, but I'll let her show herself.

Anywho, I don't have pictures (yet - I'll take some today) but here's what I got.

A sweet card
An adorable snowman ornament
A bag of assorted Ghirardelli squares

and...

...

this:


A GRYFFINDOR SCARF!  OMGWTFBBQ!  I have been have wanting one of these for aaaages.  I actually said "Oh, no way!" aloud when I opened it.

So thank you, darling SS.  You did an incredible job.

    When does pottermore open up outside of beta? I've checked a few times to no avail.

    Also, you can't say that because my gift is SITTING IN MY bEDROOM AND I GET TO OPEN IT ON MY BIRTHDAY.  Which automatically makes for win.

    <div>I can say that.  Gryffindor scarf trumps pretty much any gift that could be sitting in your bedroom, unless it's Alan Rickman wearing a bow.</div><div>

    Considering I have a pretty good idea as to who my SS is, you lose by default.

    You'll find out either tomorrow or Thursday.  Hold your horses.  Sheesus. You're as impatient as I am.  It took pretty much everything I had to tell my mother to leave the box in my room without opening it, or requesting she send it to SC.

    Wait, when did DWest say she was the SS?

    Or is TK being wonky again and I missed it?

    Great gift, BTW!
