Today was the team's holiday Chinese gift exchange. (I've never heard of this, but Mom, it's the same as our Gee, That's A Shame exchange.) The only rule was that the gift had to be worth about 20 euro. Greg, who has (appropriately) been given the nickname The Grinch by the team, unwrapped a mini-Christmas tree and was happy to take it home to his wife who (not so secretly) wishes they at least had a damn tree! But, of course, the tree was taken away from him in the exchange and he wound up with a bottle of (used) vitamins, a Corona and a chocolate bottle of beer that most definitely was not worth 20 euro. Gee, that's a shame!
Another reason why I hate dirty santa! I wish I could make a rule that if your gift doesn't meet the $$ guidelines, then you and your present get thrown out. hahaha
