See this? This is my gift card to Hobby Lobby. Every year (at least for the past two years) us ladies in the front office have a cubicle decorating contest around Christmas. Some people really go all out. They bring in mountains of tinsle and scads of red & gold Christmas balls. They make signs declaring their cubicle to be the North Pole or Santa's workshop. The Christmas spirit is strong in them. This year there was even a feud running between a couple of them and so they felt the need to bring in new decorations to outdo each other everyday. For the past two years I have thought about bringing in a string of lights or something small but kept forgetting until a week or so before the contest date Erica takes pity on my and gives me some of her extra decor to put up on my walls. I never expect to win. This year when our office manager, Tammy, came around to get the names of our cubicles to put on the ballot I told her that there was no need to even put mine on, but she insisted. I think it was called "Starlight Starbright" or something of the sort because it was all silver & gold balls & tinsle and then Erica had also given me a plastic treetopper that looked like a star. I had this joke where it was the star of Bethlehem leading the doctors to my cubicle in the vote. Apparently it was. There were 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place prizes and despite the competition I somehow wound up with first place. I couldn't tell you how. I'm still rather baffled by it to be honest. I feel certain that there must have been some extenuating circumstances that led to me being chosen, but I'm not complaining. I've never even been to Hobby Lobby but the work girls have been selling me on it all day. Apparently, it's a truly amazing store. So, anywho...
