Company Christmas gift exchanges are often very lame.
Bunch of gift certificates or wine or soaps. I lucked out however this year and
got the best gift ever: a cozy Ralph Lauren blanket that goes perfectly with
our new couch in the basement. I am so happy that it was not the stealing gift
game this year and I got to keep itJ
But was hilarious as all my colleagues kept commenting
on it as though they had never seen a blanket before:
“I should get a blanket like that
to snuggle up at night”
“Has been on my list for years to
get a blanket for my couch”
“I asked for a blanket for Xmas
from my kids”
“Wow what a superb idea to unwind
at the end of the day with a blanket”
Really???? People??? I have a collection of cozy blankets at my house and not a joke between
cottage and home at least 15 of them if not more. All of us in family every
single day use them and it would not be humanly possible for us to not use a
blanket to watch TV. Equally not humanly possible to not change into lounge wear or
pajamas and change bras and take off all jewelry upon entering my door at home.
(if I could I would go to work in pajamas with a blanket
wrapped around me)
Savvy and I were talking about this same subject last
weekend at PG. We are cozy girls but I guess the whole world is not? Does this
type of diversity actually exist? What is the opposite of cozy? Sit on coach
with work clothes and high heels on and cross legs and watch TV in nylons?
How can a throw blanket be a
novelty and not a necessity?
If I had two objects to bring on Survivor I would
bring a blanket and lip balm.
If I got home from work and there was some new uncozy
rule in the world and I had to stay in my business suit and watch TV without a
blanket or pillow I think I honestly might have to kill myself (for real) .
This might be a world I would not want to live in. lol
Anyway I was thrilled with my gift I got and I love
it. I had been searching for a gray and white blanket for weeks and this landed
in my cozy lap. I hate getting wine and gift certificates and I am so happy the
universe recognized my true needs and gave me my 16th blanket.
Cozy all the way and I now cannot wait to get home and
change and snuggle.
