The gift is delivered in a beautiful box of silver with a light blue bow. The Christmas card that includes the hand written message has a picture of a dog on the cover chewing on a candy cane.

Dear Alex,

I don’t know you well and therefore I wasn’t sure what to get you. I hope this gift is well received and I hope you consider it an olive branch. When all the secret Santa shenanigans is over, I’d love to buy you a drink and get to know you better. Everyone always needs more friends.

Happy Christmas.

( Happy Christmas and share with friends. )
