Xactaware Christmas Party 2011

 Xactware always puts together such wonderful Christmas parties.  This year was my favorite!
As you walked up, they had a limo sitting out front, with a spotlight and red carpet.  And you were being filmed as you walked up.  As soon as you got in, they sent you over to get your picture taken in front of a Hollywood sign backdrop.  After they printed out the picture, we went and found our seats that Joe and Kelly were so nice to come early and save for us.  There were nice picture frames for the guests to place the picture that was just taken.
After the delicious buffet, they sent out the entertainment.  I can't remember his name, but he was a juggling comedian and was hilarious.  My cheeks hurt by the end.  This picture is of him trying to get on a really tall unicycle with the help of two gentlemen from the audience. Awkward! lol


They then gave out some rewards like at the Oscar's.  And afterwards they had each of the employees stand underneath one of four nets with balloons.


After the balloons were dropped and everyone had one, they popped them to find their surprise.  The gift cards ranged from $25 to $300.  Das got a $25 gift card to Five Guys.

Mia Love and myself.  Mia just knocked me out of the playoffs in our fantasy football league.  I'm not too happy about that, but I'll live.;) 

We've decided to make a tradition with Joe and Kelly to take our pictures by the trees at the end.  Unfortunately the company is expanding so much that they no longer will be able to hold it at Thanksgiving Point.  Xactware is such a wonderful company and they have been so good to Das.  I am so grateful to them and putting together such wonderful events.
