Before the set-up of food:



The Final Set-up with chafing dishes, and food...

Everyone received a Candy cane - with individualized holiday greeting...

Perhaps the best Yuletide decoration
Is being wreathed in smiles :)
And now these three remain:
Faith, hope and love.
But the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13Christmas is not as much
about opening our presents
As opening our hearts.
-Janice Maeditere

It is Christmas in the heart
That puts Christmas in the air.
- W.T. Ellis

May Peace be your gift at Christmas
And your blessing all year through.May the spirit of Christmas bring you peace,

The gladness of Christmas give you hope,

The warmth of Christmas grant you love.Christmas is not as much
about opening our presents
As opening our hearts.

Merry Christmas!! :)

Christmas

is coming! :) It is a much-anticipated time of the year when I would pull out Christmas CD or reminiscent beautiful memories of the holidays. This website~http://pandora.com/ is able to play any selection of Christmas songs I fancy and I am listening to it as I type this sentence now. :)

We just did a Christmas party that the Nursing Director of LLUBMC threw for her Nurse managers. One of the items is Specialty breads basket. There are times when ordinary breads will do. And there are times when only extraordinary will suffice. Times like...holiday parties. And hence, I went to 3 stores to purchase these breads...

with homemade spreads~ fresh apple butter, whipped peanut butter, maple butter and jelly...

Made-to-order burrito wrapped by head chef on-site. Filling option includes sausage, egg, hash, potatoes. Tortilla options are sundried tomato, white and whole wheat.

I thought I would post up the thank-you notes from the director and her assistant as it serves as a reminder to constantly provide the best customer service and going the extra mile. :)

The Nursing director sent an email of thanks, "Hi Cherry, Thank you for setting us up today. That was very special breakfast. I truly enjoy working with you. Sincerely, Norie
