Jeannie returned to the office today, bearing gifts. She'd already given me a birthday present -- a lovely water-like pendant from Chico's (my favorite clothing store), and today she gave me a much larger package as a Christmas present.

"This," she told me, "Is the only individually selected gift, and you can't open it here. You have to wait until Christmas morning."

It kind of feels like an oversized book. . . but it's hard to tell.

I'm dying to know what it was that made her think of me, what it was that inspired a personalized rather than a generic office gift.

She gave me another watery birthday present!
(My Great-Women-Blessed-Bowl was her birthday present to me last year.)
I don't think of her as an intuitive type, but she definitely seems to be tapping into something about me.

Thanks to dancingchaplain for animating some of my favorite holiday images!

It's just NOT Christmas until I hear Linus explaining to Charlie Brown about the True Meaning of Christmas.
