I can afford more then a candybar!!!!

[candyshopgirl]

So the employee xmas party is next week.All the stores in the union donate a few little items for the gift giveaway.We also donate some endangered species candy bars.So we donate 12 of them and put them groups of 2 and put xmas ribbon around them. They are sitting behind me on a desk and I keep getting the same snotty comment all week.Oh your giving your family candybars for xmas.I know it shouldn't bother me but they all have the same consending tone. (we all know the one).I just respond no those are for the employee xmas party. Then the jackass just stands there with that look on their face.(like how dare you correct me)

I know that customers think that we are all stupid monkeys that can't budget money,so thats why they think that. And even if I was giving them to family what the hell is it to you assholes,maybe thats all I can afford.

For all they know it could be just 1 of the presents. And what person hasn't heard dof company Christmas parties/events.

Oh, I'm sure many people have heard of them; it's just that a few don't like being corrected after having given such a codescending attitude to the "little people".

Candy bars would be cheap and edible. Sounds like an excellent gift for parts of my family who don't need more stuff.

I don't know about you guys, but when I was a kid I would take a chocolate bar over a new tie anytime.

I still would. That might be because I'm a girl though.

One year my dad got candy bars from a relative -- and that was it from them. Of course they were candy from Canada....that you can't find in the USA... that had to be personally picked up from Canada and brought across the border ("smuggled" maybe?)...

Working at a bulk store, and having a HUGE amount of coworkers, I buy bulk candy bars, put bows on them, and hand them out. Honestly, I did silly pens one year, and candy canes another... I think chocolate will be better received.

Exactly!

This is why edible gifts are popular. And they're always popular.

Particularly cookies.


If you need to get a gift and don't know what to buy, get a tin of Mrs Field's cookies.

I worked in a candy store for Christmas one year. My dad loves Jelly Belly. No thought required.

Plus it was free because we were allowed to "graze" on the candy all we wanted, so rather than graze, I got a few pieces here, a few pieces there, and saved them up. Jelly beans for father, almond bark for sister, chocolate-covered cookie dough for brother, etc. Easiest Christmas ever!

Did someone mention chocolate? hehehehe - some of my fave gifts have been chocolate! I guess I get it from my mom. We had to laugh; at Thanksgiving, one of our guests brought her a very pricy box of chocolates. She certainly wouldn't refuse them, but told me privately her favorite is Hershey bars. So for Christmas, I got her two HUGE bars....wrapped them up nicely, and so on. She loved them!

Before my grandfather retired, one of his patients would send him Lebanese pasteries for Christmas. Those were GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. I wonder how much those are now.......*scampers off to Google*

Anywho, Mr Jedi and I are baking Butternut Squash Pumpkin Bread for everyone's Christmas gifts this year. Hopefully it turnes out well.
