Tis that season! Time to break out the Borden's Egg Nog, the mint M & M's and the red sweaters. This year I have decided to steal a tradition I know many people have been practicing for some time now. "The Ugly Christmas Sweater" has brought laughter and smiles to so many for so long. I told my supervisor that for our Christmas party at work I was going to find the ugliest, gaudiest sweater I could find and wear it. She begged me not to, but following orders has never been one of my strengths, especially when it comes to ugly sweaters. I can count on one hand how many people actually appreciated the chosen combo. I think others just thought I needed help with my wardrobe or simply thought I REALLY liked Christmas.
It was a great evening! Macaroni Grill catered, prizes were handed out, kids received gifts and, after everyone left, a few of the staff had shots!
I am so lucky! I love the people I work with, Tamara and Kristen are very generous with the fringe benefits we all enjoy. Best of all, everyone cares deeply for the people with disabilities and the foster families who care for them. I am so inspired each and every time I talk with these compassionate families.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!

I am so proud of you for wearing an ugly Christmas sweater! I have a brother-in-law who refuses to get rid of his Christmas sweaters. He also refuses to wear them. I'll have to tell him what you did. M-m-m-m! I love Macaroni Grill. Thanks for keeping us posted on your life!
