Hello, you lovely MCO peeps!

Christmas time is here. Happiness and cheer – and all that jazz. We will be having a little Christmas gathering on December 18th for all the MCO people. It is going to be as chill as we can humanly make it – which will probably not be that chill, because we are super pumped to celebrate with you all.

Some people love surprises and not knowing what to expect when walking into large group situations – love that journey for those that resonate. However, some of us prefer to have some idea of what to prepare ourselves for mentally, emotionally, spiritually, physically, and metaphysically (for my deep folks) prior to entering the zoom call. 

If you want to be surprised, DO NOT CONTINUE TO READ. Plot spoilers are about to be shared.

All the other people, read on.

But what will I wear?
Festive outfits, costumes, and decorations are not required but are absolutely encouraged and deeply longed for by yours truly. Also, if y’all are interested in $5 gift cards, BRING ALL THE CHRISTMAS ACTION, because there will be a vote.

What will we be doing?
1) We will begin by showing the video compilation of all the Christmas greetings and cards that were submitted.

2) We will vote on the Christmas vibes people bring into this shindig and award $5 gift cards accordingly.

3) Surprise, surprise… Danielle is involved in planning a Christmas party, so you know there is going to be a SCAVENGER HUNT. Bring your tennis shoes and a neutral to positive attitude. We will be playing for funsies and the joy of getting to know each other better by getting a good look at the things people have in their homes. There will be a combination of running around your home (unless you try to psychically predict what I will ask you for and bring these things into your office – bonus points in my heart if you manage to guess everything ahead of time), and questions you will be able to answer in the zoom chat.

4) BRIEF metaprocess of what this was like for you.

5) Peace out with a blessing.

We will see you all on December 18th!
