Dear blkhwkdwn1:

I remember the  mug fondly, and I remember your candy cane tradition at work, these memories are bringing a smile to my face at this very moment.

Regarding phone calls, in my experience, since I started communicating  mainly online  I dislike talking on the phone, really don’t like it and avoid it. I don’t use my  phone hardly, don’t  even know how to access voicemail or delete phone records. Maybe this is true to her as well.

So you are thinking about a present for her and you want ideas? What  about another mug, maybe mug gifting can be a Christmas tradition, one you have with her?

She will see the new mug (different words and design) and remember the old… and maybe have the same delighted reaction?
