Headquarters Christmas Party

This afternoon was the annual employee Christmas party and it was such fun.  Service awards were given out and a highlight was seeing four employees receiving recognition for over forty years of service each.  The VFW is a great place to work and longevity like this proves it.  So proud of these four!  There was a nice lunch, remarks from the Chair officers, and of course karaoke.  In between there was also an ugly sweater competition.  We all have a feeling that the blue jeans the winner wore may have had something to do with the Chief's first place decision!!  There was even a selfie table with props from A Christmas Story.  The room was packed and everyone had a great time.  Tomorrow, back to work for veterans!

Mama had fun roaming the floors and halls of HQ today, visiting with her friends. I think it was even more fun considering almost every department had a Christmas snack waiting for her.  On the 12th floor, she had a bulging Christmas stocking with toys and treats.  Ever the polite dog, she waited patiently for Ms. D to open one of the treats!
