Christmas Stuff

Just a quick post as I kill some time. The Christmas Party at work was a success. We had it catered by Boston Market instead of Stephen's Deli for the first time in decades after two disappointing performances in a row. It was more money but very well received. Turkey, brisket, ham, corn, mashed potatoes, green beans, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, turkey/potato gravy, brisket gravy, pumpkin pie, and apple pie. Plus a few employees brought food, plus add chips, fruit punch, lemonade, and a plethora of sodas along with iced tea, and you get the picture. I'm overly full.

I ran across an amusing site yesterday, but don't remember who to give credit to. This is for all you curling fan(s) out there. Coolness.

Want to see a seriously pissed off cat? Click here and here. This is Annie's cat (Bolli) who is clearly not pleased at being asked to be a model. I'll just link as I don't know how she'd feel about a thumbnail here.

Many of you celebrate Christmas, and Sue posted this in her blog today. Rather educational for all you religious folks. Hell, it was rather educational for me. Who knew?

I hope you all have a happy, festive, and joyous holiday season (insert holiday name here) and a healthy and prosperous new year. Or, if you prefer, MFC and Bah Humbugs, as appropriate :) And let's all hope 2010 is better than 2009 which I hope fades in to a distant memory as fast as possible. Hopefully it's all uphill for everyone and the economy with it.

  1. Boston Market - I haven't had that in years. Glad it was well-received.

  2. So am I. Our annual party is something our employees cherish. Most bring their families, many of our retired employees show up. It's a measure of how we treat them. Attendance is not mandatory and we have 100% almost every year (excluding those on scheduled holidays). This year we had around 60.
