Secret Santa

So in the earlier post I come off all Grinch-like and tell you I don’t celebrate Christmas, whereas in this post I’m telling you we’re having our office party later today, to celebrate the holiday season. Hmm…

We’re heading out at around noon to walk over to a colleague’s condo, where we’ll have the whole party room to ourselves on the 33rd floor overlooking (I’m assuming, at that height!) Lake Ontario. We’ll start the party with a Mediterranean style buffet catered by the CN Tower 360 Restaurant’s former General Manager, Maitre d’, sommelier and GBC Chef Doris Miculan Bradley, then kick back, relax and enjoy a variety of games including billiards, cards, Wii, and twister etc.

All this is but a prelude to the Secret Santa gift exchange. I bought my gift last minute on the way home from the office yesterday and wrapped it quickly at my desk this morning, where I now have a glitter-filled keyboard!

Last year, in lieu of a gift, I made a donation to the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. This year I’m supporting Ten Thousand Villages’ Fair Trade practices by purchasing from their store.
