I wouldn't get anything for someone who wasn't a direct report. (And I might not have this year, due to paying out of pocket for other stuff this fall that the org used to pay for, except I did it last year and some of the people are the same ....)

My horrible old boss gave really nice gifts. This good boss gives nothing. I prefer getting nothing and having a considerate boss.

I am out shopping, mostly for myself, but also small stuff for Mac and finishing off the parents with gift cards and donations. Got nails done all silver and I have my one party tonight.

I'm on vacation through the 3rd!!!!
I'm wrapping up school work that is due this week and then I'm on school vacation through the 1st, though I should get a jump on a paper that will be due on the 8th.
Presents are all purchased and wrapped. I'm not cooking on Christmas. Once again C has asked to cook - like I'd say no. We aren't traveling anywhere, aren't having any added guests, just us. So it is pretty calm.
I am going to see if any friends want to do a low-key game night for NYE.

Yay, I get to go home early today! I can get to the store and get home before the rain rolls in. We're supposed to get 3-5 inches of snow over the weekend, and I want to have goodies on hand so I can nosh and drink tea and watch LotR all weekend.

I completely refuse to let this fucking year have Carrie Fisher.
