My sister, Connie called me yesterday and said, "I've done such a Julie thing today. You'll be proud of me". I was a little wary as she sometimes makes fun of my Martha Stewart tendencies.
She still works in the office where I used to work. The staff there has been decimated by cutbacks...layoffs and forced retirement....so you can imagine that the mood isn't very festive. It's a large office with only a handful of staff now. One of the girls, Chris (who always has a sunny disposition) suggested that they celebrate the 12 Days of Christmas. Each of the dozen staff left were given a day and the challenge to do something nice for their co-workers. Today was Connie's day and everyone would come into work this morning to find a Christmas box on their desk with these inside...
Homemade Cookies!!!
Isn't my sister a sweetie!
Julie

ReplyDeleteAnd they were yummy. I just had some. j
ReplyDeleteVery sweet! Literally!

They were - I had 4 for dessert - oh my. J
DeleteShe has set the standard very high for the other 11 days of Christmas - what a treat to find when arriving to work. All that sugar should keep the lights on for a few hours. Well done Connie!
ReplyDeleteShe has and I heard they were appreciated. I meant to tell you that they solved their "light" problem. Connie set up fans with streamers. haha J
DeleteWhat a sweet surprise and great idea to spread some Christmas cheer. Thanks for sharing such a sweet story. I sincerely hope that everyone at your sister's work place has a brighter holiday season.
