Christmas party recap: Over the highway and through the woods, guests arrived in style at Cameron’s house for the Equip shindig of the year. Party-goers decked out in jingle bells, Santa hats, and antlers brought exciting gifts of joy to share in the classic white elephant exchange. Favorite gifts: 80s survival kit, Justin Bieber tooth brush (which comes in two colors in case you were wondering), badminton-style bug zapper, and NYE fire cracker poppers. Sandy kicked off rock band with her mad guitar skillz, accompanied by Cathleen on vocals and Bryan on drums. The rest of us jumped in the band after act #1. We all had a great night! Thanks to everyone who came! Congrats to Becky for winning the sweater contest and a big thanks to Cameron for hosting!
