I am under no obligation to buy my bosses Christmas gifts. But once you start, how do you stop? Thankfully, I never have to deal with it. Someone else in the office comes up with the idea and asks everyone if they would like to contribute and I do. It's not going to kill me and I don't mind doing reasonable things as long as they don't kill me.
This week is going soooo slooooow. I wonder if every week until Christmas will be slow. Well, I guess it's actually just the rest of this week and next week. But still, that is a long time. But I have gotten ahead. Presents bought? Check. Cards in the mail? Check. Presents wrapped? Check. Now all I have to do is clean my house for Christmas Eve and make some food, but that actually doesn't have to be done until right before Christmas Eve, so I have plenty of time to procrastinate until the last minute.
One thing I do hate about working in an office at Christmastime is the abundance of food. We get tins and tins of candy and cookies and I have no willpower. I eat it all day long. Or, some days I will decide not to eat it, I will decide to stay strong, and I do, until about 2 pm. Then I feel so hungry and I think, just a little piece of chocolate will tide me over. Just writing about it makes me think about it and want a piece… NO NO NO. Today is the day that I go through the whole day without one piece of candy.

I wish you the best of the luck as you abstain from Christmas treats in the office...I have not been so strong! ;o)
Well, I tried.
