Every year we all get together for our annual friends Christmas party. We've gotten smarter over the years and stopped holding it at someone's house and for the 2nd year have had it at The Sun Ray cafe in their back room. The space is perfect and the owner treats us very well. Let's hope after this years debauchery that he'll have us back again :).

The festivities include, dinner, annual slideshow (produced this year by Jeff Chrisman who did an awesome job), white elephant gift exchange and a visit from Santa Clause!!! Always too much fun!!!
