How We Decked Our Office Halls (and Brought Out the Holiday Joy)

Written By Jaime Grimes

Our office was challenged by our Human Resources department to work in teams and decorate our "pods" with a Christmas theme of our choosing, with the winning team receiving a lunch outing together.

Some got really creative and incorporated more elements than decor, including a coordinated song and dance, a live-action character from How the Grinch Stole Christmas and a tiki bar with a bartender decked out in a Hawaiian shirt (the latter ended up winning - go figure!).

We worked hard and had a blast. We're even leaving up our decorations for the remainder of the season.
