Sugar-Sparkled Good Cheer to You and Your Kin

Stress City, 8:26 A.M. 
A confused and somewhat disoriented 18-year-old boy sits in a bakery, eating a mozzarella and smoked-bacon sandwich. How will he surprise himself today? More self-discovery in store? Another secret?
A semi-finished Christmas list sits in front of him, which serves as a reminder of what his family and friends have asked for:
-Cotton candy maker
-New pepper grinder??
-Book bag

To his right, some chemistry work.
"Solid mercury (II) oxide decomposes to produce liquid mercury metal and gaseous oxygen."
