Merchandise for Christmas...

[Kaitlin]

No: HPFGUIDX 7862

I got a lovely HP bookend (just one, I don't really use bookends, so 
it makes a cool figurine for my room).  I also got a Hermione 
StoryScope, a light-up pen, and some stickers in my stocking.  Today 
I bought myself the student planner!
Umm, folks, I accidentally erased all the votes from my HP 
merchandise poll, so if you would wander on over to the poll section 
and vote again, that would be awesome.
Hope everyone had a very Harry Christmas!
