I worked the Saturday shift with Blossom yesterday. It was a relatively quiet day, and we weren't complaining. Still, I found myself wanting to speed up time a bit, so I cleaned and tidied more than usual.
We've put Work Study to work decorating the place for the don't-say-Christmas holidays. It looks festive enough without being overblown. Our don't-say-Chrismtas tree:
Story has it that, one year, they'd put a winged wolf (the college mascot is the wolves) atop the tree, but Leadership thought it too religious.
The past 4 trees have had the ornament shown as the topper.
It's a dumpster fire with the year 2020 engraved upon it.
I don't know where Work Study found this nearly life-sized sticker, but The Elf adorns our entrance
I'm also not sure how easy it will be to remove him?
Another Elf reference adorns the microwave
We had our white elephant gift exchange party last week. I ended up with a queen size plush blanket and some fuzzy socks - not too shabby.
Happy don't-say-Christmas!

Do you know I have never seen Elf? I am not Will Ferrel's biggest fan but I may have to break down. And I'd take a plush blanket and fuzzy socks about now. It's damn cold here. (well to us)
Yes its the 'thing' to have an elf some where we don't have one!
How is that white elephant?!!! That is totally acceptable. I'd love a life size Elf.
Peggy, "Elf" has become a Christmas classic, but beware if you're not a Will Ferrel fan. It's 1000% Will Ferrel.
Chris, at least there are no elves in my home... that I know of.
Liz, our thoughts exactly on the white elephant gift. Work Study loves to shop and is very generous - I worry about her nonexistent savings. In her defense, her contribution contained a couple of hideous useless items as well.
You're correct. I tried Elf. Too Will Ferrell for me.
Peggy, I'm not surprised. It's a LOT of Will Ferrell. Good on you for trying!
