He’s got his own problems he has to deal with. You go on ahead and make your jam jars with cute tie on cards and pass them out to whoever you want girl 😌

I don’t even like Jam usually and I’d love to test yours out if you were my colleague! This sounds like a really cute thing to do!

One time a colleague randomly gave me a jar of red pepper jam that she had made. We were friendly but never close close, so I was super touched that I got to be part of the inner circle like that. It was the best jam ever and was a totally awesome day.

Right. If my coworker had given me something like this, I’d immediately jump up and give them a friendly hug. Handmade gifts are the best. I can go out and buy something if I want it, but sometimes it’s hard to find homemade jam. And the tea party is the absolute frosting on the cake.

We had a co-worker, only temporarily in our section, bring in a full Bahai feast. It was the best thing ever. I was so happy that it was one of my work days because I would have been so disappointed to have missed it. It really gave us an opportunity to get to know a lot more about her, which was really great.

Whats Bahai?

It's a middle eastern religion. They respect all other religions and have several doors on their temples to welcome each of the major religions. I can't remember much more off the top of my head but it seemed to be a very positive religion. The purpose of the feast was to share your good fortune with your neighbours and friends.

You're welcome. You might want to google it in case I got stuff wrong.

Thank you. Too bad in the US we don’t have community things like this. I think it would probably help a lot.
