Good news

It's always a nice thing to walk into the office on a chilly late December day and discover that instead of the three-day weekend that you were expecting -- you get a full four days off.

And that you get a Christmas bonus.

I'm also happy about the gift that one of my coworkers gave me today. She picked it out because she saw it and thought of me, and it was perfect. It wasn't a big thing at all. But I'd rather have just one gift like that -- where the gift is an expression of the fact that the giver was truly thinking of me -- than a dozen gifts with no such inspiration.

You know, unless it's like $25,000. Because that would be sweet.

So as for me, this Christmas has already had an element of everything I love about the holiday.
