I missed posting here for the past days. I have been busy at the office because, in addition to my work, we now are all decorating our own department spaces with the theme, Winter Wonderland. We are given an hour before dismissal to work on our decorations which started last November 15 and will end on Dec. 2. On December 10-15, the judges will surprisingly be seeing what we all have done and the winners will be announced on December 21, during our Christmas party. The first prize is 5,000.00 pesos or $100 , second is 3,000 or $60 third is 2,000 or $40. The rest will get 1,000 or $20. So everyone is keeping the decoration expenses to the minimum, so most are bringing decors from their houses. Brrr, it’s getting cold here as the decorations are slowly getting completed. Here are some snippets of the decorations. Take your pick.

That one is by the Logistics Department. It's headed by an engineer which have two staff. Yes, we can still work with all the clutter of unfinished decorations. When 5:30 p.m. comes, all are again agog with decorating their department spaces, while joking and laughing at each other's decorations.

Love those decorations and they have put a lot of effort into being so creative. A wonderful idea to have a Prize like that also and I mean Prizes that will be a great incentive apart from all the Christmas Spirit going around.

@lovinangelsinstead21 I find that one so creative. Although they said they got the idea at Facebook and they just copied it. But even then it is difficult making that in six rectangular pieces of styro then put together in the wall like that.

Yes, with this contest, a lot of employees have shown their creativeness. I am amazed that the simple , reticent bowling attendant is so creative in doing that snowman peeping at the window made of styro foam. and yes the Christmas spirit is so much in the air. Everyone keeps joking about the decora. ha ha ha

@SIMPLYD There's no need to go too overboard with creating a Christmas theme, is there? Hardly any need to make the office cold! I'm just joking of course.

Thank you. But as early as now, I think we have a small chance. Our decors are not so creative as theirs. But that's okay, At least we will be doingour best. We are only 50% done.
