Regarding holidays I celebrate, there are only four cuts: Heartsgiving,
Scary-ween, and Noel-tide.

Heartsgiving—also known to those who indulge my silliness as Valentine’s Day—I
always purchase roses for my mother and something for her students. As a single
woman in the prime of her life, I’ve seen plenty of broken hearts over the
holiday. Even if it’s only one smile, I know I helped.

Even though I don’t have a chance to dress up or attend parties because of
work, I still revel in the marvel that is Scary-ween. Witches on broomsticks,
black cats and kittens, ghoulish lunch potions, and things gone missing. That’s
right, I have a great Halloween Huzzah with some fantastic and very dangly
earrings. Tie in a few sweet pranks, and I am set until next Scary-ween!

Between Turkey Day and Noeltide, I do something personal for my work crew. I
always give chocolates or hot chocolate bombs and a few extra things no guy or
girl should live without. (I won’t tell you now, but I look forward to hearing
more this December!) I would not have a job if we fought more than we worked.
