Robert Oscarson's wife, Sherry, assures him that No, the gingerbread house was not on the evening's edibles list (Tom and Karen's son, Nicholas, already tried it!)
Karen Morgenstern and Cynthia Ramseyer with matching reindeer antlers. They're working on the red noses for next year
Lu Johnson, Venilda Castro, and Mike Diggles prepare for the White Elephant Gift event
Lu Johnson got a really big mug, while Ana's not sure about her football-shaped pasta. Venilda and Mike look on with anticipation
Associate Western Regional Geologist, Carl Mortensen, is delighted with his VINTAGE freeze-dried applesauce (yeah, right). Samples will be provided at the next RGO staff meeting

Western Regional Geologist, Patrick Muffler, having unloaded the Santa-face Christmas tree, has big plans for the ho-ho-ho TP-- but he won't tell (beware... there's always next years White Elephant Gift exchange)
