We are kind
of like kids when it comes to holidays here at Moore Research, we love a good
reason to get together and celebrate! The scent of fresh baked cookies is
wafting through our office, a fine display of homemade snowflakes, glowing
lights and ornaments are hanging all around.
We celebrated early and had our annual
Christmas Party last night. It was full of laughter, cheer, gifts and
goodies. We had a cookie decorating station, where we loaded frosting and
sprinkles on to sugar cookie cut-outs. We had a hot chocolate bar with plenty of marshmallows and chocolate treats! A dinner of rigatoni's, meatballs, chicken, potatoes, fish, salad and rolls was enjoyed by all (yea,
we like to eat!). It was catered by Teresa's in Erie, we highly recommend them!
The White Elephant Exchange, which always proves to be a
humorous tradition, was a hit yet again! Here’s how it works:
- Each person brings in a
wrapped gift ($10 value).
- Everyone puts the gifts
in the center of the table.
- You then draw numbers,
and if you are number 1, you get to pick the first gift. (I put numbers on the bottoms of candy canes and had people pull out a candy cane to find their number!)
- You then open the gift for all to see.
- Number 2 then has the
decision to steal Number 1’s gift, or pick a new one of their own. If they do
steal, number 1 has to pick again. (No steal-backs!)
- And so on, and so on..
It is "ideal" to have the highest number, that way, you see all the gifts out
there and have the last chance to steal (or end the pain and pick the last gift on the table)!
I know stealing sounds
harsh, but it’s all fun and games….right?
- Do you celebrate
Christmas at your workplace? What do you do?
- Have you ever
participated in a White Elephant Exchange?
