Christmas present

Last night I was invited for a Christmasdiner at the Public Library where I have worked for 25 years. I am already retired for six years now but each year the former employees are still invited with the other colleagues for a dinner. When leaving everybody received this huge heavy Christmas gift.

Look what was inside, all kind of Italian products to have a nice afternoon and also a 20 euro book token! Amazing isn't it, I haven't even worked for it.

  4. How nice. I've never heard of a workplace remembering a former employee years later after they retired.

  5. I, too, am lucky to have taught in a school that has an annual luncheon for retired staff and faculty. It's a wonderful way to renew friendships and to support the school. We have never received such a wonderful gift as you have! It's great to be valued!!

  9. Ziet er geweldig uit!
    Wij kregen vandaag ook ons kerstpakket. Er zijn mensen die het ouderwets vinden maar ik blijf het een mooie en waardevolle traditie vinden.
