Good Morning! Come on in out of the damp. It’s a bit chillier than what we had yesterday (50s) and I’m waiting for SNOW! I know for most that is a four letter word. But, not to worry! We bought snowmobiles, so chances are we won’t get snow this year. 🙂
How are you? Getting ready for the holidays, for whatever they will look like this year? For most, I imagine it will be a repeat of however they spent Thanksgiving – small gatherings and video calls. And more online ordering than ever, this year.
On Wednesday at work, we did our Secret Santa gift exchange via Microsoft Teams and Elfster. It turned out very cool! You sign up at Elfster, make a wish list, then names get “drawn” and you purchase and ship the gift to that person’s house. Then, we held a Teams video meeting, everyone opened their gifts and found out who their Secret Santa was. Very cool that technology enabled us to carry on at least one tradition! My secret Santa shipped me some Stranger Things socks and a 3D skull ice cube mold!
We also had bingo via email and holiday trivia via myquiz.com. We just missed the holiday potluck and cookie exchange this year, which for me, that is a good thing!
Thursday we had to go downtown as we had a scheduled appointment abruptly move up. It was a bit weird driving the path I used to drive every day, almost foreign, not to mention very, very light traffic. Not that I miss it!
Then Friday I had a crown break in half and fall off my tooth so another unexpected trip to the dentist. Now the installation is scheduled for December 31st so that throw off any plans for a snowmobile trip that week. 2020 is not going to go without screwing up everything possible! Hahaha.

They got so much snow in Harrison yesterday some places got a foot. Power outages and trees and wires down everywhere
Sorry about the tooth issues. I hate that. What a nice place you work! We’re expecting snow this week near Philly. Here’s hoping!

I really am fortunate!
2021 has to be better. Thanks for the coffee break.
I sure hope so! Happy New Year!
the skull ice thingie looks super cool… pun not intended hahaha
Someone mentioned they are going to stay up all night on New Year’s eve just to make sure that 2020 really really ends, its easy to understand how one would feel this way.

LOL 🙂 I’m happily waving goodbye to 2020 – and hoping 2021 isn’t the evil twin.. Happy New Year! All the best to you and your family..
Oh no, dental stuff is always more stressful than it seems it should be. But those socks and ice cubes are cool! I like that the tradition carried on. 🙂
Thanks Ra! It was neat.. I’m a card carrying introvert, but the whole video call thing is growing on me.. 🙂
I LOVE the idea of zipping around the snow in a snowmobile, that would be cool. I imagine it’s a bit like taking your umbrella with you when you go out though; if you’re waiting for it, it won’t happen 😂
The virtual secret Santa opening is such a good idea. You got some great goodies! I hope you get your crown sorted at the end of the month without any problems. Typical that sort of thing has to happen around Christmas. D’oh!
I hope the rest of your week goes more smoothly – Merry Christmas! 🎄

Haha, exactly! We did get to go for a few days and had a ball.. Tooth issues postponed until early January! Yes, typical. 🙂 Have a Happy New Year!
