Spirit lifting.
So the other day, I'm at the local fresh-ish market buying some cabbage rolls for lunch when this lady walks up to order some chicken. We got to talking since, apparently I am rather yappy, and she told me that she makes cabbage rolls every year and gives a tray of them as gifts to her friends and family. Jokingly I told her where I work. We both laughed and wandered off in our own directions.
Yesterday, she stopped by the office with a beautifully wrapped, very cold gift. It was a tray of cabbage rolls for me! I was very surprised and more than a little touched. Our Christmas spirits have risen around here and things are getting merry and bright.
