Favorite Holiday Traditions: Contest Winner Revealed

December is a month for relaxation, family time, and remembering what's important. Here at OfficeArrow, we always look forward to the holiday season because of the great traditions that come with it. Throughout the month of December, we asked our members, "What's your favorite holiday tradition?" We had a wide variety of responses from our community, making it very hard to pick just one winner. You all shared great stories though, and each one warmed our hearts.

Congratulations are in order for Angela Rhode (OA member: angela rhode) of Wisconsin. Angela will receive:

• A $50 Williams-Sonoma gift card

She shares:

"My favorite holiday tradition is picking a family from our local 'Adopt a Family' organization and taking my three children shopping to pick out the gifts for the family. We have done this for the past 4 years and it's the most rewarding feeling. My kids get so excited picking out the different gifts for the kids. Not only are we helping out a family in need for the holiday season, but my children are also learning the value of giving and realizing that there are other folks in the world who need things more than they do. They are learning to appreciate the little things that I am able to do for them and are more respectful in that manner. It's such a blessing to know that we helped put a smile on a child's face on Christmas morning. We plan to continue this family tradition until we are not able to give anymore!! Merry Christmas to everyone!"

Thank you again to everyone who shared their story. We hope you're back in the office, feeling refreshed after the holidays (with resolutions in tow). Be sure to check out our next contest being announced tomorrow and drop by OA all month long for advice on making those New Year's resolutions a reality.
