Happy Holidays! 🎁

It’s the first day of December and YOU love contests, WE love contests, WE all love contests so we want to end the year with another contest! 🎅

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and I’m sure many of you decorate your office space during the holidays and we want to see how LIT 🎄(pun intended 😉) your office is! Send those pictures in. 📷

How it Works

Participating in the challenge is easy and fun. ☃️

In a comment on this blog post, upload a picture of your decorated office space and tell us in a few sentences what you love the most about the holidays before 11 a.m. EDT on Friday, December 15th (12/15/2023). We want to see it all, hear all about it! 

We’ll then draw one at random and you the winner will win a cool set of Community Headphones.

I don't have a whole lot up just yet, but had to have my Donald Duck ornament that I got in Disney Springs while at Pantheon!

What I love the most about the holidays is that all my kids are home for a few days and we watch Christmas Movies, play cards and open gifts.  Everyone still gets stockings, even the cats lol!  The traditions that we started with our kids years ago still carry on and every year it makes me smile.

My favorite thing about the holidays is the music and snow! I love the Holiday cheer and the Holiday drinks too!! My husband and I have very large and close families and it makes the holidays so much fun, especially watching the little ones eyes light up with Joy.

That time of year!

I really enjoy how our teams come together to ensure we have coverage though out the holidays while still being able to spend time with our families.  We do a pretty good job looking out for each other.  I also really enjoy the overall peace and quiet while folks are on vacation, haha.  

Thanks,

Steven

So this will sound crazy but I do not love the holidays.  I am the real Grinch before he liked Christmas.  I do try to get in the spirit for my team!

Hello from Phoenix, AZ! The thing I enjoy most about the holidays is the slowdown and mellowness the season brings. Things slow down in the winter and especially around the holidays allowing more time with friends and family and the opportunity for our staff to reconnect and catchup.

I work from home, so my whole house is my office- here's my decorated office 😄

What I love most about the holidays is the feeling of hope. I enjoy looking at all the sparkling lights and listening to Christmas music. Cheers everyone! Happy Holidays!!!

My favorite thing is going to the Madrigal dinner!  I love watching the performances and of course spending a day with my family!

We partnered with The Salvation Army to put up a giving tree. Our employees are selecting wishes from the tree and purchasing gifts for the kids. We had so much interest from our staff that we had to ask The Salvation Army for a second round of kids to gift because we ran out within the first 30 minutes of putting it up. My heart is full when I see the generosity of our coworkers!

Our favorite thing about the holiday season is spending time with our family and friends. We enjoy celebrating at our annual Christmas Party where we enjoy good food and music and of course Santa gets to visit with the kids!

 My favorite thing about Christmas is getting to go home and spend time with my family and friends. It is also really fun to buy gifts for them. I can be a little slow to get very excited about the holidays, but then as it gets closer I get more excited.

This year at Evenflow we had an elf on the shelf theme. The CSR's spent hours adding their own personal touches with the decorations. From the snow covered glass, cotton snow drifts, lights, and even the homemade paper ceiling decorations. It was a pleasure to watch it evolve and take shape. This whole experience is what I love about the season, a sense of togetherness. Big thanks to our CSR's Nick, Melissa, Mckenzie, and Evan the elf.

I missed the part about telling you what I love about the holidays, so here I come right under the wire to share @baraica lol.

I LOVE gift giving. I love choosing the item I just know the recipient is going to love and then watch their face when they open it. It's my absolute favorite. Followed closely by time with my family and all the delicious holiday treats.

WOW!!! Everyone here is so creative, you have all inspired SO many ideas for next year! My office is doing Elf on a Shelf FOR SURE and the CSR Snowman!!! THAT IS HAPPENING!! For our office, I am one of two CSR/Receptionists and we are in charge of the decorating and keeping things festive. My co-CSR, Bonnie, made the ribbon on our tree in our company colors, and she did it all by hand. In a previous life, Bonnie was a Home Teacher, she is so creative! (She also happens to be my roomie!)  We ordered everyone an individualized, personal ornament that reflects their personality. Our Commercial Admin is a Star Wars SUPERFAN so she got  a Mini Millennium Falcon ornament. Our Office Manager, Anthony AKA Antonio got a Goat since he loves Goats so much, and our Scheduler, Amy has the BEST earring collection this side of the Mississippi. She got earrings: A honey bee and a pot of honey, mini size, the coolest earrings! My personal favorite ornament is for our Director, Jen, and its a plastic ornament with the tiniest, cutest Amazon Boxes in it, and they are all labeled!  It was so much fun picking these out and ordering them....TEMU. I even got to do some more of my "Kindergarten Artist" Calligraphy on the tags. 

NOW.....the real question......How are we decorating for January/New Year 2024? Any ideas yet? I'm thinking Winter Wonderland....
