Do You Believe In Miracles?

For the office holiday gift swap, I forgot to buy a $15 or less gift. Fortunately, I had my American Express gift card I received as a thank you on a prior project with $32.73 remaining on it. I walked down to the cafeteria and started buying all the cookies, chips, crackers, sodas, and other items until I had the card down to $15.25. I got a sharpie, crossed out they original value, and marked it down. It was a holiday party miracle.

    And what did you give the gifted person? The card or the Snacks?
