today was dress-up day at work.  roles were assigned, and the masses were alerted.  yours truly was the only one hardqore enough to actually do it.  mama elf hooked me up like flying gumdrops.  sweeter than maple syrup!

 

and you can just tell who's on the naughty list and who's on the nice list by the way they respond to you:

 

1)  naughty list

they just try to ignore you.  no smile, no eye contact, no nuthin.  bah humbug to the extreme.  they wouldn't take a candy cane if their life depended on it.

 

2)  nice list

genuinely happy to see you, even after the first time!  they wanted candy canes, but were a little hesitant when i offered maple syrup for their coffee...

 

i was totally ready to spread christmas cheer at the division staff meeting, but then it was cancelled at the last minute.  coincidence?  i think not...
