I'm a little slow on this entry, as I've had the Swine Flu - Fun stuff!! I'm over it, except for the 1-2 hours of coughing every morning, which the doctor said could linger for 2-3 weeks. Fantastic!
To the point:
*Disclaimer: I hope this is not taken with an air of ungratefulness. I am grateful. I love my students and their parents, and all the joy they bring into my life, but some of them should stop there.
Things NOT to buy your teacher for Christmas:
1. ANY box of chocolates purchased from the Dollar Store. If you're only going to spend a dollar, buy a box of crayons, they would taste the same.
2. Anything ceramic, especially if it has "gold" on it
3. Is there some sort of theory out there that teachers are excessively dry? Because lotion seems to be the #1 gift. I could moisturize the marines.
4. Decor, I can't even find anything that matches my style, I'm doubting you can either.
5. The classic canister of Cocoa. I like cocoa, drinking it now, but I am not the proud owner of 4 canisters of Candy Cane Cocoa, I don't like candy canes.
So, you're thinking, awfully negative. What was my FAVORITE gift this year? The hand made pop-up penguin card with a very sweet note written from my student. That is what Christmas is really all about.
