Just had the world’s most awkward holiday “partyâ€, with my immediate group at work, sitting around a conference room table. We did “Yankee Swapâ€, which I’ve never heard of – like Secret Santa except you have the opportunity to swap (actually steal) an already opened (i.e., GOOD) gift from someone before you choose an unopened (i.e., potentially BAD) gift.
$25 minimum for all gifts. So, I bought Zagat’s 2011 NYC($18, with a gift receipt for exchange) and a $15 Barnes & Noble gift card – my gift was so well-liked it was stolen from my boss by someone else. I had to pick 2nd, and I didn’t want to steal the Sephora gift cards from the person who went 1st.
What did I get? Drum roll, please: A stuffed Santa Claus head with bells hanging off his beard to hang on a doorknob! AND a plate in the shape of a 3-leaf clover painted with “Cookies for Santaâ€! At least a few others got equally bad gifts, but WTF is WITH these people???
There is a woman consultant in this office and her face was either botoxed into paralysis or she got some kind of cosmetic surgery which went wrong, very very wrong.
Dona- did the great MM visit you?
CGar- lack of taste?
no bonuses this year Cgar.
Oh CGar, dear, that sounds so profoundly f@#ked up!
Dona- but I get to pick the heels 🙂

Why oh why do women DO this to themselves?
