Has the world gone mad? Last weekend, Herself bought a pair of Santa earrings to wear at her office "do". When she got home she found the flashing light on one didn't work so she's taking them back this Saturday as they'd "look silly".
"As opposed to two flashing Santa earrings, one would look silly?" was my reaction. Now, today, my younger work colleagues have come out in a rash of santa hats, reindeer antlers, stars-on-sticks headdresses, assorted flashing Xmas badges and earrings, tinsel halos,tinsel boas etc. It isn't even end of term till Friday, let alone the holiday.
When I had my own office (as opposed to my present Dilbert-type cubicle) I used to put up a sign showing a Xmas tree with a red line through it saying "This is a Xmas-free zone" to deter the paper chain and balloon fanatics.
Am I just an old grouch?
I celebrate Xmas at home, but at work?
Dear Dr Mudcat, please advise
