A very Claris Christmas Party 2010 edition

Well if you’ve been around Claris at all you know that our culture is a little different than most companies… and we pride ourselves in that. One of our core values as a company is to “work smart and play hard”; and our Christmas Parties are usually a reflection of that. Like most companies we view the Christmas party as a time for everyone to hang out and have a good time, and reflect on the past year… that just tends to look a bit different for us than most.

If you recall from last year’s party, there was a ping-pong tournament involved and a whole lot of hang out time. This year we decided to expand the ping-pong tournament just a bit… and a change of venue was in order as well. The event was held at UT’s Down Under and featured, ping-pong, 9 ball, bowling, and foosball tournaments, with some major prizes on the line for the winners… and in the style of Fight Club, if you were there, you had to be in one of the tournaments! Awesomesauce!

For the Albino Bowler, you may find this hard to believe, but this was actually his first time bowling (with us). I took full advantage of the situation and got plenty of action photos!

No good Christmas party would be missing an excellent spread of food, and this one was no different. The Bonefish Grill on Bearden Hill came out and catered the shindig with lots of their famous dishes and a killer brownie and ice cream dessert.

I can confidently say that all who came had an excellent time. I’d personally go out on a limb and call it the best Christmas party… ever. Fun was had by all, and people’s bellies were full. I’ll let the pictures tell the rest of the story!
