Perhaps you might ask them why they do this? Maybe there's some friction amongst your other co-workers that you're not aware of. Either way, I wish more folks were like you, Scott. You're my hero!
...oh stop, I used to be ignorant and homophobic in my youth...but fortunately, I grew up...thank you though my friend...and I have said something to them, no friction-they just seem to be more comfortable, so I don't badger...

Surprised the family with "Frozen On Ice" tickets at the Wells Fargo Center down in Philadelphia today. I must have been the only clueless person there (except for a song or two). Nice production. Youngest got a flashing wand as a souvenir. Whenever she turned it on on the drive home I thought I had cops on my tail.

Slept in, stayed in my jammies all day, and ate entirely too much. All in all it was fabulous!
Got some gift cards, one from Amazon which I promptly used to buy Secretary of Dreams Vol 2 and a couple of other books. Clothes, Bath and Body Works stuff(could spend all day in that store!)a zombie New England Patriot statue, and various other odds and ends. Oh yeah, something called a Meta Watch which I haven't a clue how to use!

Mine wasn't under the tree but in a Christmas cracker. My hubby had bought me a diamond ring and hidden it inside a cracker, I got a real shock/surprise when I pulled said cracker. I had lost a diamond ring that he bad bought me about 10 years ago outside a school. I used to be a kitchen assistant in a primary school and you are not allowed to wear rings so I used to take them off and put them back on at the end of each shift, needless to say it feel out of my bag and now some child will no doubt have a expensive dress up ring.

So this ring was to replace that one because I was rather upset by the loss, but I did not expect it all and promptly burst into tears once I realised it was real.

That is lovely - he is a real sweetheart to do that for you!
