The Santa Cause

So every year at work their is the opportunity to "adopt" a person or family for the holidays. It is called the Santa cause. The team I work on "adopts a family each year. This is the second year I have been the one to collect the money and do the shopping for the family. I had some help from a fellow co-worker, Tom, which was good when it came to collecting the money oh and heading into the scary part of town to pick up the gift certificate from Pathmark.

Yesterday was the day I drag everything in and get some help wrapping the gifts. Now you don't think the team on all guy I work on would wrap gifts willingly and without Bribes do you? Naturally we get them to help wrapping by feeding them. we order pizza every year on the day we wrap.

It is a great thing to be able to help give a family Christmas each year, even if it is a lot of work to collect the money and do the shopping and try to keep things as even as possible for each member of the family. next up in the holiday season is the SEI holiday party down in Philly tomorrow night which i have decided not to go to. next week on Wednesday we have our First annual holiday Beer exchange. (Yes Beer not cookies, again what happens when you work with all men) and on Friday we have our annual technology luncheon which usually consists of pizza, sandwiches, soda, beer and wine. there will also be a holiday Texas hold em tournament on Friday too.

More holiday season news to be reported later...
