The holiday merriment has officially been put into high gear!

My immediate supervisor invited out entire department to his home for our annual Chinese gift exchange -- with all the gifts coming from the fabled "eBay room" that we've all heard of, but never entered (probably because it's too full for anyone to walk into).

I ended up with an Art Deco vase that I love. I also acted as a proxy for a co-worker who was unable to stay for the exchange. I hope he likes his serving tray.

I still haven't wrapped and bagged my gifts. I got caught up with some long-distance calls last night. My friends will always take precedence when they're footing the bill.
