Well I am happy to say I am done with the Christmas shopping... I am usually an early bird, because I don't like shopping at night in the cold, wind, snow and the dark. So I usually have it mostly done quickly because I work and time is always short. That is all about Christmas shopping. So on to another subject.
Today was the annual Christmas staff party. The last 3 years, we have had lunch together at the Lion House. We then stay to play White Elephant gift exchange. We started doing that as a way not to feel obligated to give all our co-workers gifts. So we all agreed and it has been such a blast every year. This is what I got this year! We always try to get something else, as did I this year. Someone always steals my gift that I probably stole from someone else.
I got a cake pan shaped like a bear, I think. At first I got a pinata shaped like a small girl with a bikini on. It was hilarious and I wish I had had my camera, but I didn't because I brought the wrong bag. Then I got a cute sign about messy offices. My office has been the messiest ever in my career this past month. I have been frantically working on writing college curriculum on German genealogy and things are so wild and crazy I can not keep up with the messiness. Which is not me, but has been since getting this assignment full of deadlines...and stress.
Here is a shot of another part of the white elephant I got that was stolen from me.
Christmas colored M&m's and the sign which I lost. Oh well, better luck next year!
