This year our company decided to have a Ficus tree decorating contest.  The contest was broken up by business units.  The winner gets pizza and beer.  Our trees started out as angel trees for needy children.  All of our angels were gone within the first few hours and then we started to decorate.

We were provided lights and that was it.  We had to use items found around the office to decorate the tree.  Well somehow I became the head of the ficus tree decorating committee.  Me and a co-worker ended up making the majority of the decorations.  We started with paper chains, paper snowflakes,  and other items we could make from paper and construction paper.  We also found a few more random items to add.  T-shirts for the tree skirt, a phone – we are voice, a phonebooth – yep and some CAT-5 cable.  You can see where this is going.

Anyway the second floor decorated their tree with food – umm, ew.  And the first floor, ohhhh the first floor.  Hehe, they didn’t read the email to see that judging is at COB today.  That’s right, TODAY!  So their tree is, well, undecorated.  We’d heard rumors they had planned to wait til the last minute to get their tree together.  Unfortunately the last minute was the wrong day.  AHAHHAHAHA  😉

I feel pretty good that victory will be ours.  I mean we really really want beer and pizza.

Our amazing ficus tree.  Be ready to be amazed.  🙂
