Office Love

It's official, I no longer have a Charlie Brown tree. My office, back at Wright-Patt, sent me HUGE package. They hold the record for biggest box to any of my deployment co-workers. My tree now is almost too small for all the the ornament's they sent me. I must say, the ornaments are unique. If you click the picture, for more detail, you'll see that the bulb ornaments have the faces of each of my co-workers, all eleven of them. They're a little spooky. With my CHU being small, no matter where I am in it, I always have someones eyes staring at me.



Are those Superman Christmas ornament hooks? Nope, just your standard office paper clips bent into hooks. They do look like the Superman S, don't they?





The top of the tree was still looking bare so I added my Detroit Tigers winter socking cap. I'm thrifty, I know!

My office also sent me a enough snacks to feed an army. (Hmm that's where that phrase comes from.) Dave Ryans' donated some cologne (how fitting). Doug parted with an issue of his Maxim subscription (he has a Maxim subscription?). I love the CD mix Laura, but it should be called Laura's Deployment Survival Mix Vol 1 (I can't wait for Vol. 2). The newspapers and magazines are great. Everyone here thanks you for all the goodies.

My office loves me, they really love me! :-)

I like the candy canes. It really puts the trees size into perspective. I'm glad you are getting some form of christmas over there. 99 days is nothing!! See ya soon.
