2 turned into 3!

I made a double batch of cornbread muffins and chili for the anticipated work parties. I was trying to plan ahead. So, this morning I put on my Jackie Kennedy dress (yes I have different dresses that remind me of certain people) and green tights to get into the Christmas spirit. 

When I arrived at work I was surprised becasue there a ton of food/decorations already out despite the fact the I came in early to help set up my chili in the crock pot. Come to find out the clinicians were having a breakfast potluck and decided to include the office staff as well. No complaints from me! It was a yummy and in no way healthy breakfast but again so yummy... such a struggle!

At lunch we had the office staff Christmas party with a white elephant gift exchange. I walked away with a gift card to Starbucks and a huge bag of Starbucks coffee. Yes, I love Starbucks!

Right after work ended I then headed to the rehab Christmas party with all of my former co-workers. We had yet another white elephant gift exchange which was fun. I miss them but at the same time I know I made the best decision for me.

Here is Vicky and I. She's my buddy!

We are very festive aren't we?

Now that I'm home and have on stretchy pants (HA!) I'm trying to get some of these post finished and posted. 

What holiday parties have you gone to? Any good white elephant gift stories?
