Holiday Gifts for Work

Happy Holidays from my work-job! :)

I stumbled over these old photos from the 1st Holiday Party that I was part of at my current job. You know the Party Planning Committee on The Office? Yeah, it was kind of like that but kind of not. Either way, we definitely had some par-tay planners in our office (still do).



Below is our baby Christmas tree that we no longer have room for in our office. Unfortunately, we have run out of space to put one up since we have a few more employees than we did 3 years ago. This pic made me smile - it was so much fun to take half of the day to decorate the tree (but not very cost-effective, I know.) I find these things as more of a morale booster in the long run.

Back to the ol' Holiday Party - please note the glassware, cloth napkins & real silverware below. Seriously, we do not joke around for Holiday parties. No paper or plastic here!

Ah, now to my gifts for my co-workers. This was last year's: M&M Cookies in a Jar (pictured), Brownies in a Jar & Holiday Scones in a Jar (pictured). I also made mini muffin loaves of Cinnamon Streusel bread as an additional gift to my bosses. It was a huge hit! What do you think?

*Ah-dor-able*

So now on to this year's holiday treat for my co-workers...goodie boxes :) Due to my unexpected encounter with food poisoning over the past weekend, my original plans for baking homemade holiday treats to fill these adorable boxes was set aside. So last night, I ran to our local CVS and cleaned out their Christmas candy section.

Aren't I cute?

I know, I know. I'm a Beachbody Coach - what am I doing giving these people sweets? Aren't you supposed to be filling it w/ protein bars and Shakeology? All good questions and yes, you caught me. I totally panicked! I knew I had to fill these babies up and air alone wasn't going to do that! But I must share this, I did bring a yummy veggie tray w/ turkey bites and low-fat cheese as an appetizer. Does that make up for it at all? :)

So there's my update about Holiday Christmas parties...Oh and here's what our tables look like this year:

Notice the lack of glassware and real silverware...my how times (& the economy) have changed. It's ok though - it'll still be an enjoyable time nonetheless! :)

PS: My stomach seems to be 99% ready for normal food but I am pretending I'm only 50% ready so I don't over eat this year. :)

Till next time!
