Changing Tradition (for the better)

For the past 8-9 years at iMarc the employees get together in late December for their annual Secret Santa exchange. Each employee is randomly assigned another employee to buy a gift for through our web based Secret Santa generator (we seriously have this). Once assigned it's up to you to purchase something for less than $30 that you think would really resonate with that person's character. In the past I've received a Whip, a multi-tool and an inflatable Moose Head. I'm not sure what that says about me, but I've put them all to good use.

This year we decided to make a last minute change, instead of getting gifts for each other we thought it would be better to buy toys to donate. Don't get me wrong, I love a good laugh and a Camo Snuggie just as much as the next person, but I think we all came to the realization that this money could be better spent. So yesterday afternoon all of the employees got together for the standard Wine, Beer and food - and each of them brought a toy for charity.

This year all of the toys were donated to the Jeanne Geiger Crisis Center here in Newburyport and the majority of the toys were purchased from our local Toy Store here in town, a big win win in my book.

Nice work staff and Happy Holidays!
