Our "little contest" continues to see who can wear the most Christmas articles and still look half decent and presentable.

Today, I had 25 points ----my sweater vest over a reindeer t-shirt plus bracelets (2), an anklet, 3 necklaces, 5 pairs of ear rings stuck into the sweater as pins, 6 different pins, ear-rings ---- all blended in with the Christmas tree on the vest.

The last day will be this Friday ---- it should really be crazy here that day.

The mortgage loan officer in our real estate office challenged the rest of the staff to a contest --- who can dress the most "festive" during the holidays. 

There is 1 point awarded for each "festive" item that you wear that day.  Also, the items must go together so that we don't look so ridiculous when clients come in.

For example, today, I have 10 points (very difficult to get)-- a T-shirt with a jewel Christmas tree, a sweater vest with jeweled trees, 2 different tree pins, a bracelet with pretend lights, a tree necklace, tree ear rings, a barrette with red & green ribbons, green & red tights under my slacks (you can't see much of the tights) and bells around my ankles (these are hidden, also, but they do jingle).

Needless to say --- I won for the day.  The other staff members had 6 or  7 points.  Everyone is having a blast --- the agents are enjoying watching.  This does not interfere with working --- just makes it more fun.

Looking for something fun for your office?  Why not try this.
