Ok, so I'm not the brightest crayon in the box...

Funny Story. The President of the Bank I work for decided he was in the the Holiday spirit the other day and decided to create a "Holiday Spirit Contest". You are supposed to decorate your row the best, most creative, most festive, whatever. Each row competes against the other rows. So, of course since I am the festive one in my row (which consists of me and the other Executive Assistant) I decide to decorate.

Ok...I have to take a step back here for just a second and explain something or you won't understand the humor behind this. The other day we put up a Christmas Tree at work. The facilities team here are really funny about "christmas decorations" being a fire hazard (so no lights) or being offensive to other religions. When we looked in the box of decorations we had been given they were all red white and blue, with flags, the whole nine yards. I said out loud "ok what are we celebrating here, AMERICA or freakin Christmas". Well this guy named Andy that I work with pops off with "um, that tree is offensive to me because I am jewish" which he really isn't he was just being funny. We laughed and finished decorating the tree.

Ok, so I'm at Walmart buying decorations for my row and I think the blue and sliver stuff is by far the prettiest, I mean it stands out and it will be different than any other row, right? So I gather up a few things, a cute little teddy bear that is dressed in Blue and Silver, some tinsel, some bulbs, and some cute little blue and silver stars and head on my merry way. YES! WE are going to win for sure!

Well after I get it all up and decorated, I am super happy with the way it turned out. People are walking by and looking and complimenting on how cute it is, but they all stop and stare for a minute and look really puzzled before they walk away. So finally like an hour later someone finally says (what they all wanted to say but didn't) "Um, Erika, what's with the Haunaka stuff?" and I am like "what do you mean?" and they proceed to say "Blue, White and Silver are the colors of Haunaka and you have the star of David all over!!!." I'm like "whats the star of David, WHERE?..you guys those are just cute little...."--- look at the package you moron....HAUNAKA STARS!!!!

"Oh, um ya, didn't you guys know??...ANDY IS JEWISH!"
