    I am sure all of us would be thrilled if the parents each gave us a card with a sincere thank you for all we do. I have been fortunate to receive a few of these and everytime I read them I feel joy and reenergized for this profession. A heartfelt message takes only a few moments to write and even if it is on a dollar store card it is a priceless gift to us who put our hearts into the care of their kiddies.

    Spixie33, you made me laugh. One year I received 2 gift cards to the LCBO (adult refreshment store for those not in Ontario) and I thought the same thing.......do I look like I need a drink? The parents said if they had my job, they would be knocking back a few in the evening.

    Mimi - it was pretty funny and made me wonder when I got so much booze.

    The first parent who gave it I was like - oh that is nice
    the second parent I was thinking - Hmmmm.....that is interesting that both parents gave me wine and
    the third parent I was like - Holy Toldeo! Do I seem that stressed?

    And it isn't even that I am a drinker or talk about wine to them or anything. It was just out of the blue. It was good for Christmas company though
