Christmas at Work

This year at work, we decided to cancel our annual Christmas party and instead spend the amount of money that we'd traditionally spend on frivolous things on feeding families and buying gifts for the less fortunate. It was a great idea that somehow got stuck in my lap...and it was a project that has truly monopolized my last couple of weeks, but as of Friday, it's over!

I bought gifts for about 200 kids and enough food to feed fifty families. It was a huge effort, but seeing my coworkers excitement as they took part in this hands on project was well worth it!

I know a lot of companies are doing similar projects right now. If yours has done something like this, I want to hear about it, too!
All went well, until my boss gave me a special elf hat to wear. You can see by the look on my face how excited I was to wear it. {smirk}Now that this HUGE project has been complete, I can finally focus on decorating my own home (got my tree last night - thanks @MrAshleyPerez for helping!), and go see my brother, SIL, and the niece and nephew who just flew in. Oh ya, and there will be much more blogging, too. YAY!!!
