Each year our Switch Creative Christmas party is hosted by the boss lady (Kimi) and her husband (Matt) and appropriately titled “Switchmas”. This was the 3rd annual Switchmas at their house. This year things were a bit different though. More people attended since we’ve grown a tad bit this year, there was a bar in Jones’ nursery/bedroom, and we feasted on Pei Wei in Chinese to go food boxes (my fav!) We’re usually stuffed with Kimi and Matt’s mouth watering home made lasagna and truffled mac’n'cheese, but Pei Wei was just as fun and filling!
We kicked off the party with a White Elephant gift exchange, which usually consists of a couple inappropriate or hilarious “gifts”. Jamie usually wins at bringing the weirdest/funniest/most controversial gifts. This year’s was pretty good. He framed some very awkward photos of some employees from a Switch photography project several years ago. They were golden.
After the White Elephant gift exchange, Kimi, Glen, and Matt usually hand out gifts to each employee. These aren’t just any generic gifts. They are very personalized and thoughtful gifts. I am always amazed by their gift-giving abilities. I wish I was that good at giving gifts. One year I received a gift certificate to a Spa (massage). Last year I got to choose a cooking class at Sur la Table (which then resulted in me making dozens and dozens of macaroons for the hoffice). This year I got this awesome camera with some film! I can’t wait to play with it! If anyone knows me they know I LOVE massages, cooking, and photography. See, told you they were good!
Switch Christmas party = Switchmas. Here are some fun photos of our annual white elephant Christmas party at the boss’ house. You can view the whole set on Flickr.

Switch threw the lovely Childress couple a baby shower for their triplets. Yes, triplets. Everyone in the hoffice pitched in with their talent in one way or another. Ashaun drew/painted the large “Shower” signage, as well as, the name banners (I helped cut and construct.) Kelsey made a diaper cake. The McClards’ provided yummy finger food. I took some photos and set up a slide show for some ambiance. The Dallman’s got a nice large gift from all of us at the hoffice for the Childress’ and brought Branch along for the fun. The Collins’ brought their twins for a cameo, and some nice hand-me downs for the triplets to enjoy soon.
Here are some neat photos. You can also go check out Christina & Justin Childress’ lovely blog (which they designed and developed) that has a nice entry about the shower. You can view the entire Flickr set here.
