Oh, Christmas is right around the corner but not for me, apparently. Im already in full holiday spirit mode by eating a single, gloriously sugary, sprinkle-covered square of what Im very sure is emergency snack from a tin that looks like it was designed by a Disney princess whos also a little bit confused.
Lets be real this isnt a festive treat, its a war crime disguised as a cookie. And yet, Im savoring it like its the last piece of gold in a cursed treasure chest. My desk? A battlefield. My water bottle? My trusty sidekick. My highlighter? The only thing that can save me from this existential crisis of what even is Christmas without a tree, a fire, or a proper napkin?
So, yes Ive already taken my first official bite. And Im not even sorry. Because in this world of spreadsheets and deadlines, Im choosing joy. Or at least, sugar. And maybe a little bit of sarcasm.
Lets just say: Im not waiting for Santa to bring me a real cookie. Im going to eat this one, sprinkle by sprinkle, and pretend its a tiny piece of magic. Because if I dont, Ill be the only one in the office who hasnt started the holiday season yet and thats a fate worse than being late to a Zoom call.
So, heres to the first bite and to the fact that sometimes, the most holiday thing you can do is to eat a cookie in front of your keyboard, pretending youre not just surviving, but thriving.
And yes Im still pretending Im not a little bit sad that its not yet Christmas. But hey, at least I have a sprinkle-covered square to remind me that even in the middle of chaos, theres still magic. Or at least, sugar.
