Christmas!
On December 3rd we had our Christmas Party at the PINT downtown. We had awesome costumes and prizes for the evening. All the teams had at LEAST 2 members present, while only two teams did not attend. I thought that was awesome! We had Christmas trees, gifts, decorations, naughty and nice shots, some Grinch, and we also donated food items to YESS (Youth Emergency Shelter Society). Good job guys and it was great partying with all of you! I mean...socializing!
I'm not gonna lie...I was not home for Xmas.
