Christmas Happenings So Far

We're still a few weeks away from Christmas and the holiday activities have already begun. It all started off with my company's Christmas party. This year's celebration was at The Crane Bay event center downtown. It's a very unique space and they had it decorated perfectly, including some cool stainless steel Christmas tree decorations that the company fabricated in our sheet metal shop. Our evenings entertainment was a band featuring two of our company's employees. I didn't even know they played, but was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. In the words of the bass player / vocalist that also serves as one of our IT guys, "We won't suck, it'll be good." He was right. And, while the attendance this year didn't seem to be as high as past events (or at least not among people we're used to hanging out with), it was still a lot of fun and a good chance to see some coworkers that I don't get to see very often.






Yesterday we attended another cool event. A Yelp-related event, even. This was the annual Yelp Bazaar - a "pop-up holiday shopping party" with a bunch of local vendors selling everything from coffee mugs to jams. It was held at the Indianapolis Central Library and was very impressive. We didn't realize the scale of this whole thing until we saw it for ourselves. There were so many people and so many cool vendors. And, while we may not have gotten much Christmas shopping done, we certainly had a good time looking at all the interesting offerings. We'll definitely be checking it out again next year.








And I think that's about it for now. Have a good weekend and we'll be back next week!
