Merry Christmas from the farm! We recently had our Christmas party, with all of the farm employees, contract growers, and other people in the area that work with the farm. All in all, we served 140 people a home-cooked meal. Everything is put together by Mom, Marcia, Samantha (my sister), Leslie, and myself. Instead of buying Poinsettias, we made Mason Jar Centerpieces for all of the tables this year.

We try to have something special just for the kids. This year we made these cute hot cocoa reindeer favors. We also make sure to have some type of entertainment. We had a face-painter/balloon artist that did some really cool work. By the end of the night, we had quite a few superheroes, cats, and butterflies running around.

Each guest gets to take home a gift from the party. This year we had water bottles, coffee mugs, lunch coolers, and LED Maglite flashlights, among other items.

Christmas on the farm isn't anything fancy, it's just in our shop. The guys who work in the shop become the decorating committee and put up all of the lights, tables, and chairs. It is a good excuse to give the space a thorough cleaning before starting in on the winter maintenance program. I think everybody enjoys a laid-back and casual evening.
