Touched and Inspired

I was just sitting in my office this morning and a co-worker from another department (with whom my team has been frantically working to roll out a new web system) suddenly appeared and gave me this:



How lovely! And it's my initial! Apparently it is a custom in Holland (he's Dutch) to gift people with chocolate in the form of their initial on December 5th. He missed that date by a little but who cares?! It's chocolate and it's from Holland - need I say more? I'm so touched (and apparently such a sap). Gifts are in rather short supply for me this year I'm afraid (which would account for my absolute delight at this unexpected one!).

So now, my mind is busily at work coming up with something to gift him and his team with. I think I have just the thing - pictures to follow!

That is the coolest thing. I hope I get a gift that has my initial on it as well.I did not know that was a custom in Holland but since it is it's cool. Chocolate is my favorite. Maybe you should kind of do the same thing but a custom from a different place.

The letter L looks good enough to eat. I would munch on that big piece of chocolate. If I had someone giving me that gift I would not even think about keeping it for memories. That is the coolest custom I have ever heard of. They should do that here in the U.S.
