So one of my three roomates when I lived in New York has called me little moose for as long as I can remember. I am going to go on thinking it is because I was the one Canadian in our apartment and not for any other reason. But she just posted this picture on my facebook wall and I like it so much I am posting it here for everyone to see.
I was speaking to a girlfriend at work about our company secret santa and we both signed up for the same reason. We already know what all our family is getting us. Its nice to have at least ONE surprise gift that truly is a surprise. My manager had me (ironically for the third time in five years!!) and really did surprise me with a gift card to Sephora. I was very happy to get the Philosophy shower gels and it was a great surprise. My parents gift was two of the melmers that I got about two months ago, and so today it was nice to get a bag of candy cane hershey kisses, white chocolate and peppermint m&ms and lots of bags of dried fruits!!
And while not quite a surprise I do love the gift from my brothers. Upon request I sent my brother a list of ideas (with a $8-$150 range. I made zero assumptions) he did email me back to ask what size sweatshirts I wear. So I did have an idea that I would be getting a new Oilers hoodie (my last one literally fell apart at the seams last year). And today, guess what I got:
And I also got an Oilers scarf! A good thing since the low for tonight is -29!! (yes, that is -29 CELSIUS though that translates to basically -29 Fahrenheit.
Happy Chanukah everyone! Hope everyone gets as spoiled as I got today!
