It is that time of year again. The baking begins, and millions of calories get traded between friends, coworkers, and families all over the country. You can almost smell it coming. After Thanksgiving, our teacher's lounge gets flooded with homemade goodies from parents and fellow teachers.
You can also recognize this season by the appearance of...that's right, you guessed it...holiday sweaters. Every year it makes me laugh inside as I see grown women wearing sweatshirts that light up, snowmen with puffy balls appearing on sweaters and fancy hairbows and matching earrings!!!
Well, today marked another staple of the holidays. My students began bringing me gifts. And, boy, did I really get some good stuff this year! It's only Thursday, may I remind you!!!
So, to sum up my loot, I got 2 gift cards, a cute tin with magnets and a bracelet, a zebra stripe gift set (yay!), some very 80's zipper pull earrings! (:D also, yay!), and a sweet pea Bath and Body Works set!!! In addition to all of these, I got some very delicious, and some very questionable, baked treats!!! OH! and I even got a group hug from my 7th period class! :)I am pleased :) I think it is so sweet that the kids thought of me. Some of them have even been telling me for weeks that they had my present! When I have kids, I will for sure give their teacher's some rock'n gifts!!!
