Today was the annual company Christmas party. My company throws this great Christmas bash for everyone 2000+ employees complete with a huge shrimp boat and huge tree and music and lots of good food. The also have ice sculptures each year. This year the sculpture was a nutcracker. I took a couple pictures of the sculpture for today’s photo.

also while I stepped away from my computer and hard monitoring of the Rockstartup $1,000 Puzzle Hunt. Colleen was able to pull out a win. She smoked everyone, that is why she is the PPP Poster Child. We only live in her world.

Here is the second picture.

A Charlie Brown Christmas

I think my favorite Christmas movie is of course the timeless A Charlie Brown Christmas. The whole story is special in every way. Here is a a character, Charlie Brown, who is scorned by friends and family alike. He is a perpetual loser but he keeps trying. Despite being called a blockhead and being taunted he continues undaunted in his task to find the best Christmas Tree ever. Linus’ speech on the true meaning of Christmas is the most special part of the show. I also love the music throughout the show and always think of that as the Peanuts music. We even used that in our wedding. The scenes where everyone is goofing off and dancing are also fantastic. I just love the dances and snoopy strumming the base. What better Christmas movie is there?
