So its Christmastime once again here in Hawaii! It never feels like Christmas much at all over here, which doesn't make me feel too cheery this time of year. Its not chilly or snowy and there are no fireplaces or smores or any traditional Christmastime things. I know, I know what you're thinking...."BUT ITS PARADISE".... Even so, I miss some of the traditional "normal" activities and feelings of the season.
Today was our Christmas party at work. I am thankful that I work at a military facility where I am still allowed to say the word... "CHRISTMAS". Not many places are like that anymore. I enjoy handing out gifts to all my co-workers, and this year I made most of the gifts I gave out. I took a few snapshots of the gifts before I ran out the door this morning.
I bought a nice pineapple wine for each of my doctors that I work for. I thought it was a neat gift because it is from a winery in Maui and made from pineapples. I wrapped them each in a brown bag with a cute red ribbon and a personalized tag. I had five of them so dragging them up the stairs to the building was quite challenging!
I also made each of the ladies a personalized glass ornament with a cute red ribbon. Everyone seemed to like them, and they were very economical gifts (lots of time though). But when you have around 20 gifts to get, it can become quite pricey!
And all the men got Starbuck's gift cards. I know, not very creative. But guys are so hard to buy for. And everyone can find something they like at Starbuck's.
