So kick back, relax, and don't worry about your cousin Eddie!

Merry Christmas everyone.

I've made a big bowl of wassail to go with.

Merry Christmas!

It's been a crazy morning, so I've brought a bottle of schnapps to add to the hot chocolate

I brought egg nog and gingerbread for the troops this morning - there's plenty there to share. Unfortunately, the egg nog is Safe For Work.

At least for now.

We have a hot cocoa bar every year at work. And if you've ever wondered if it's a good idea use your senior management's company directory photos to make custom food labels for the chocolate and caramel syrups...you should probably perform a risk assessment on that idea first.

At Halloween one of the departments created an underground subway (the department is located in the basement). They took company photos of board members and senior management and put them in the windows of a subway car. About a week ago, someone added Christmas hats to all of them. The Chairman was pretty amused.
