All was going well until someone in the office wondered if we could move up the date of the reveal party . . . to today!! That left me with a whole week's worth of daily gifts that I wouldn't be able to deliver next week as planned, so I started leaving him two things a day and even left him items for over the weekend. His office has been filling up with Secret Santa gifts!
Meanwhile, my Secret Santa has been leaving me mean notes--threatening ones saying that I had better be sure to increase my holiday cheer this season or bad things would happen. My Secret Santa stole the clock off my wall one day, only to return it as a "gift" to me a couple days ago. One day my Secret Santa left me bags of candy . . . that I myself had contributed to the community candy bucket in our office only days earlier! The only real gifts that I got from my Secret Santa were a mini dart board, a potato shooter (toy gun that shoots chunks of potato), and a business card holder made to resemble a miniature briefcase.
At the reveal party today, it was revealed that . . . Josh and I were each other's Secret Santa! He redeemed himself with me by giving me a DVD of the Strangers with Candy movie (based on a TV series that I absolutely love; I haven't seen the movie but am very eager to do so). He was stressed, though, because it just arrived in today's mail; he was prepared to give me a "sorry that your gift isn't here yet" note in its place. I told him that the writing in his evil notes made me suspect him; and he told me that the choice of amusing daily gifts made him suspect me. ("Plus," he said, "I figured you were the only other person in the office who could figure out how to download a holiday font.")
It was a fun holiday activity for our office . . . even if my Santa was malicious!
funny....even "I" was thinking that Josh may have had your name. And only after meeting him just one time....the silly little fella! You two would be dangerous if you ever teamed up for, well, anything at all!
