Double gifts

It seems I have two different Secret Santas at work. It's only supposed to be one, but I've gotten two different gifts both days so far this week. I talked to the person who organizes it all, and she can't figure out why it's happening. No one has complained about not getting anything (at first we thought it must be some mistake). The most likely explanation at this point is that I have the one regular Secret Santa,  and the other is the administrative staff person who pulled my name who has decided to leave me gifts all week instead of the one bigger gift that's expected. I have a sneaking suspicion that the admin staff who got my name (and is leaving the extra gifts) is the assistant principal, Mrs. Smith. One of the gifts had a note on it that looks a little like her handwriting. Either that, or some random member of the staff has decided to shower me with some extra love!




I've also gotten a Christmas mug with hot chocolate mix and candy, a large bottle of my favorite soft drink with a huge bag of M&Ms, and a holiday themed dish towel.




I don't know what to think about all these gifts. I suppose it still might be some mistake, but I won't know until Friday when we reveal ourselves.

So much sweetness and kindness. You're just doubly loved.

Think of it as a catch-up on all of the appreciation you did not get at your last job. You deserve double gifts!

Nice gifts. Usually we get gray hoodies from corporate, but this year, because we're not meeting our sales goal, we're all getting a Home Depot Christmas ornament. Lucky you!

I think you are so appreciated there that more people wanted to treat you! How nice!

And why wouldn't you be showered with extra gifts??? You deserve it after what you been through. This is the universe coming back to you for being a kind beautiful soul.

You should receive extra gifts. It's about time someone recognized how lovely and hardworking you are.

Love,

When you say "reveal" yourselves, I hope that does not mean you have to undress!

Joanne Noragon said...

You are doing a great job and it's appreciated. I wonder if you will ever know who is your bonus Secret Santa.

Maybe 'Secret Santa' isn't such a bad idea after all.

Steve Reed said...

Maybe people just love you!

Librarian said...

I second Steve! People just love and appreciate you, and rightly so.

Frances said...

You must have been a very good girl this year for Santa to be showering you with all those lovely gifts!! Is it a tradition to reveal who gave what to who? It is kept a secret here......though you can often figure it out!

Jennifer said...

Hahaha! I'm sorry Dave but that's just funny. Cheap bastards!

Colette said...

I'm looking forward to hearing how this mystery turns out.
