have yourself a merry little christmas

60 plus cards and several gifts later, i am finally ready for christmas. i do hope that all those cards in the snail mail make it all in time. you are all in my thoughts when i wrote them.

when i first started working there was a yearly tradition of doing christmas gift exchange. each one was to buy a gift of a certain value and then they will exchange it with someone. the problem was that who you were exchanging the gift with, you did not know. very often, we ended up with either boxes of chocolates or photo frame.

that tradition was broken a couple fo years back. they decided, correctly i might add, to get rid of this. so here we are, buying gifts for people whom you want to buy for. no more photo frames or boxes of chocolates. just gifts with the people they were meant for, in mind. now that is what christmas is all about, ain't it?


my division is having our annual dinner and dance tonight. i guess it promises to be a fun filled night, topped off with nice food and lots of drinks. looks like there is going to be lots of partying going on tonight. it is a nice way to signal the coming to an end of another year. i can't wait.
