Funny

I thought this would be a good one to start your Monday off:

I dropped off some chocolates for the ladies who work at my favourite McDonald's restaurant the other day.  I got the brightest smiles as I wished them a 'Merry Christmas'.   They wouldn't let me pay for the small latte I ordered.  That made my day too!

Later on that same day, I had lunch with another lady I met years ago at my gym.  She dislikes the season perhaps because she has no close family left and maybe just a few friends.  I gave her a print of one of my Christmas cards that I painted, one with fancy red shoes, and she really appreciated it.  She said she would put it up on her mantlepiece.  It did seem like her style, to match her new car!

On gift giving

Seasonal Sightings

I've starting delivering a few gifts. I dropped off some nice chocolates to the management and staff of my favourite McDonald's this year. My favourite attendant was there to receive it. I got a big smile and thank you from them all. It was totally worth it! That same day, I took a container of similar chocolates to my mom's pharmacist and also received a big appreciative smile and thank you. They had a bunch of interesting health flyers for the taking, information on the glycemic index and general healthy eating. I've never been sure if potatoes and corn belong in the grain or the vegetable category. So according to these flyers, they are considered grains, more's the pity!  That must mean popcorn is also in the grain category.  I was hoping it counted as a vegetable, lol.

We've been enjoying this box of 'Ferrero Collection' by Ferrero Rocher. It was a gift from a girlfriend. It contains dark chocolate, regular chocolate and their coconut flavour. Well, they are all fine flavours, including this new coconut one!

But to get back to the gift giving, I must say it's so much more fun to give than to receive sometimes, it does wonders for the self-esteem!
