2009 Living Direct Christmas Party
Our annual Christmas party was held December 11, at Cool River in Austin, TX. The slideshow above is just a glimpse of all the fun we had. There was food & drinks, pool, a white elephant gift exchange with Santa and a live band.
We hope you have a very Merry Christmas and we'll see you in the new year!
The Gift of Free Stuff Friday
Fridays are not always the best day of the week. They usually involve very early mornings for some of the staff and can be slightly stressful at times. But this Friday was different.
It began like normal with the lucky early risers being treated to bagels by our president, Jason Roussos. Then things started getting good:

We were treated to Starbucks coffee and cheesecake by UPS Supply Chain Services.
At 11:30 am, Mid-Tex arrived with a BBQ lunch:

Everyone was satisfied with the day's delights, but the free food didn't stop coming. By 3 pm, we had received not one, but TWO gift baskets full of cookies, dried fruit, cake and an assortment of nuts:
Ravaged gift baskets from Demandware & Gen3 Marketing
Needless to say, we were stuffed.

Then the bow on top of the gift that is "Free Stuff Friday" arrived:

And we rejoiced.
