Everyone knows that I have a slight obsession with music. Lately it has manifested itself in a lot of classical and organ music. But, I also do love a good Christmas carol. Some of those I have various copies played on the organ. When it comes to the more non-secular songs, there are some I love and some I just really am not a fan of. I know them. I can probably sing a lot of the lyrics to them. I just don't like them.
However, knowing them helped me win a holiday trivia contest our department had. It was great because it allowed participation from both those on site and those who were remote, like I was. And while I was falling behind on the general trivia questions, once we got to the music, my score took off! It took off so much, that I won!
But since I was remote playing and then the holiday came around and then people were encouraged if they could to remote work after the holiday....I didn't get my prize until yesterday.

Now, I have been around Marist for a very, very long time with my 4 years as a full-time student right after high school, then a few months off after I could no longer work until I was hired full-time in November, 1998 and have been around ever since.
However, I have never, ever bought myself a Marist mug. I had a water bottle many years ago. I've had shirts, jackets, sweatshirts, sweatpants, and shorts. I've bought my family shirts and mugs. But I, myself, have never had a Marist mug. Until now.
I was so thrilled to get it! And I can't wait to start using it! And I'm so glad that I know Christmas songs so well, even the ones I really can't stand!
