Waxing Poetic

Something tells me not much work is getting done today. Lots of laughter, Christmas lights strung across the cubicles, and the smell of Red Hot and Blue throughout since they catered our holiday lunch today... AND I even got the cutest big gift 'basket' from one of my favorite contacts as a thank-you for all the extra effort I put in for their account!!! It's a metal sleigh filled with everything Ghiradelli: chocolate mint coffee, a big tin of chocolates, double chocolate hot chocolate mix and more!!! Yummm!!!

Not much else to report, other than looking forward to my parents' house being complete chaos on Saturday, as both my sister and her family and my brother and his new family are coming up on Christmas Eve, which will make: 7 adults, 5 children (ranging in age from 2 - 9), 2 cats, maybe one dog... I love watching my nieces and nephew as they open their presents - that innocent joy is something that cannot be feigned when they're that young, and it always helps to remind me what this season is really about; giving rather than receiving, spending time with family and loved ones - rejoicing that I'm lucky enough to have such a wonderful and stable family and have the opportunity to see them often.

If I don't talk to some of you beforehand, have a WONDERFUL Christmas!!!!!
