Christmas this year was, unexpectedly, fun.

The first sign I had that Christmas was coming was a card from sminties, so early in the December mail. :)
I thought of baking for my colleagues, especially since one would be leaving us to join another division come January 09. But I guess I've grown too old. I no longer had the energy nor enthusiasm to do sweet little things like I might've done in the past. This was from a batch that I baked back in October I think, specially decorated for Papa cos I felt rather guilty, always making them eat the burnt or ugly ones.

And here are my gifts and souvenirs for this Xmas. Surprisingly, the office gift exchange went quite well. And there was much less clutter compared to the previous year. In fact, I was quite lucky and got a choice gift - a shoe bag that quite a few of us youngsters were eyeing. Heh!

Oh, and the necklace that YL got me with the "lovers' band" on it? The design is actually an imitation of Cartier's classic screwdriver design, and I only realised it when I saw the huge Cartier signboard at Taka the other day. No wonder bakushit was giving me funny looks, haha!

And lastly, Minnie Snow and Mickey Snow wish us all a very Merry Christmas and promises of a great year to come in 2009!
