Office Christmas Party: Eat Drink & Make Merry #DirtySanta #UglySweater

1211a1

We love to throw a Christmas Party each year at work.

1211a6

We start with breakfast, continue through lunch and then we exchange gifts.

1211

Everyone buys a unisex gift minimum value $50.00 and we pull numbers and pick a gift. If the next person likes it they can steal it from you and then you have to go pick a new gift. That is why it is called Dirty Santa.

1211a

We also love the theme Ugly Sweater and here are this years’ winners. Sean and Kristyn wearing their Reindeer Games sweaters.

1211a2

Bobby was very happy with his Jack In The Box holding a crisp $50.00 unfortunately along came Marjorie and stole it. It was back to the gift table for Bobby

A little smile, a sip of cheer, a bite to eat with someone near, exchanging  gifts with one held dear. Best Wishes for the coming year. These make a Merry Christmas.  Happy Holidays!

Tough Cookie by Kate Louise #GingerbreadMan#Stockingstuffer

Tough Cookie is a new take on the Holiday gingerbread story.  Tough Cookie written by Kate Louise is a story of a gingerbread man who was baked, accidentally, without the ginger.
262355_4452412749312_739509762_n

Without ginger this cookie feels like he is not really a gingerbread man.  He can’t be sold!  So he lives in the back of the bakery store and causes all kinds of trouble, eating the baker’s decorating candy, throws sprinkles across the counter, and squirts frosting on the walls..a real Tough Cookie!

 

 

226656_2The baker had to ask the gingerbread man to leave the store.   The gingerbread man realized he had to change his ways if he wanted to stay. So the baker begins to  teach him  that his ingredients don’t make him who he is,  that it’s his character that defines him.  After that realization the gingerbread man begins to help the baker decorate the other gingerbread men and women.   And he is the one who always makes sure that the most important ingredient, ginger,  is never forgotten.

Tough Cookie is a great story for children 3-6.

It’s a story about how we all need to be kind to others and how we find happiness by helping others
