It's the beginning of the holiday season, of the onslaught of edible gifts that will line our kitchen counter and tempt us all. Well, not really, given that few people seem to like us enough to give us gifts these days. But, anyway, we got our first package today, which was from a company that sends a big assortment of nuts each year. I'm always tempted to email them and say "Thank you, but next year, think chocolate!" Special K, however, seems delighted:
To all Staff:
This is to alert you that a Christmas snack was delivered (via UPS) this morning to us from That Company That Still Likes Us. The snack has been placed on the kitchen counter and is available for your eating enjoyment. Please feel free to snack on these delicious nuts. Happy holidays and thank you.
Sincerely,
Special K
Um, I gotta go enjoy myself in the kitchen now, snacking on delicious nuts...

My enjoyment always comes from her announcement of their method of delivery. Like we would be curious about this.
Now, if the delicious nuts were, say, delivered by Santa in the flesh or a scary, murderous clown, that might be noteworthy. UPS, not so much.
I like how she thanked us at the end. For what? Taking the time to read the email which announced the delivery (and delivery method) of the Christmas treat?
We got another package of "Christmas snacks." But there was no email alerting us, no mention of how it arrived. Unless I receive an email stating that it arrived by stork or Virgin Birth, I am not having any of it.
