Its the last working day of the year for me (although Ill still be answering my emails) and I got my annual bonus, which I was sweating for a while. HUZZAH!
Christmas is a fun time of year for us. I like giving gifts to my family and our extended family (aunts, cousins, etc.) also play a gift giving game called "white elephant". The object is that everyone brings a wrapped gag gift, puts them all in a pile, and then draws a number from a hat. You choose a gift from the pile based on your number, and people behind you can steal your gift and give you theirs if they wish. Good times watching old ladies maneuver for a particular tchotchke.
