Two incredibly sweet things happened today, making me feel a lot more like it's a holiday!

At our office holiday party on Friday, we had a "gift grab." I had picked a wine bottle stand (with wine!), and of course it got "grabbed." I teased the woman who took it, but I ended up with an adorable, cuddly stuffed dog (now named Samwise). This morning, when I came into the office, the gift package was leaning up against my desk -- she'd given me back the stand. I went to her and said that I'd only been teasing, not copping an attitude. She smiled and said, "I know. I wanted to surprise you with it." Wow!

Then, as I was getting ready to leave (off now until Monday!), I went to talk to my dear friend Walter, whom I've mentioned here before. We gave each other a big hug, and then I said that at the risk of sounding corny (although if you can't get corny at Christmas, when can you?), that I think he's very special and I'm very glad he's my friend. He said, "Well, I don't think it's corny at all, and I feel the exact same way." Walter is naturally very reserved, and this is the first time he's EVER said anything like that! Usually, if I express caring for him, he just thanks me. Me being me, I had wondered just how mutual the friendship was. I guess I don't have to wonder any more!

I can't tell you how happy I am to hear about your wonderful day.

All I can say is that you absolutely deserved both of those great things that happened for you!!
