We have a fun tradition each year around the Holidays – a white elephant gift exchange and a pot luck lunch. This year we twisted it up a bit. Not only did we do the usual fun of each person opening a gift or choosing to steal another, but this time we had plenty of stealing until the iterations finally stopped and then the Surprise.

First, we voted on the worst gift – and gave out some fun FirstRain clothing as a consolation gift to Cory who had ended up with the Snuggie. Then we voted on the best gift – which was a new Apple TV – and gave Dave (who had ended up with the Apple TV) the choice of keeping that or opening a mystery gift. When he chose to keep the Apple TV the mystery gift went to the holder of the second worst gift.

Which would you have chosen? (see below for what Dave missed).

Nick modeling the “worst” gift  – the camouflage Snuggie

Jordy doing the Vanna White for the laptop desk.

Nima (not single for much longer…) picking a guy gift – binoculars.

The team chilling after eating too much great food and chatting with our sales offices on Skype.

When Prashant opened the mystery gift – it was an iPad – and Dave was kicking himself!

The other kicker to the pot luck – we probably all gained 5 lbs not only from the bundt cake, dripping ginger cake, thai shrimp, ribs…etc… we also sampled David’s homemade wine and Nick’s homemade beer. Yum.
