On this, the second-last day of 2007…

I treasure:
The sight of:
My hubby and son playing a game of mini-sticks (both trying so hard to win); Eddy's wiggly-bum as we go for a much over-do puppy walk and our family and friends.
The smell of:
N wearing his first-ever cologne (a gift from Santa) and my wonderful gift of bath-balms from Fruits and Passion.
The sound of:
Hockey pucks hitting the boards, skates spraying ice and N doing his "hockey-highlights" in the backyard.
The feeling of:
Knowing my loved ones are safe and sound and pulling off another Christmas (even with strep throat).
The taste of:
Mom's sooo delicious shortbread, medium cheddar cheese and of course my "Tims".

Sorry but...

Eureka. I finally found something positive to say...

about moving to a newly renovated floor at work.

It has been around three months since our department moved to a newly renovated floor. I have been struggling to say something positive about our new digs.

But today I finally realized something positive has come from the whole experience.

We have misplaced the departmental Christmas tree.

Last year I was amazed to see how much time and effort was spent on decorating this tree. The tree was also inspected daily to see if any ornaments, tinsel etc. had moved or needed to be tweaked. I think just deocorating the tree took two or three days.

Our call centre staff took much pleasure in moving decorations after normal business hours. I took much pleasure in watching our department Christmas tree decorators move them back.

Nothing says Christmas like angry Xmas tree decorators.
