the office holiday party is upon us ...

... so don't expect me to get much work done today.

we are feasting, playing a dastardly round of "dirty santa" (or "yankee swap," if you prefer) and there are an abundance of bourbon balls to be fought over.

So far, the stuffed possum in a pot (along with a box of "oppossum helper") has been the most popular gift.

i wish i were making that up.
