Office Christmas

Even though I had a shorter day at work today (I left at 2:30), it was filled to the brim with goodies.

All of our Kris Kringle (Secret Santa) gifts were under the Christmas tree, begging to be opened. As you can see by the shapes, a lot of people got wine.

Speaking of wine, I got a bottle of Moet champagne and Lindor truffles from another client. I like this business!

At about 12:30, we had our Christmas lunch. We opened our presents there.

Somebody gave me a beautifully-wrapped digital photo key ring! I still don't know who gave it to me.....

We dined on sushi...

...and a colorful antipasto plate! There were many other nibbles throughout the office today.

My parents and brother are on a plane right now to Sydney! I can't believe it. We have a 6:50 am flight out to Melbourne, so we're getting picked up very early tomorrow morning. 

We have a lot of things to discuss when we finally meet up with my family, because Noosa (the place we're visiting after Melbourne)  will be pouring down with rain the entire time that we'll be there. When I say "rain", I mean torrential rainfall and flooding. It's not looking very good. This is a freak year for Australia weather-wise (and other places). We'd love to change our plans around, but we're not going to get refunds for that part of the trip. We either have to brave the wet or spend quite a bit of money to have a sunny and dry holiday. That's something I'll update later. 

See ya in Melbourne!
