Christmas came early for us this year, as Wednesday the 16th was designated our Christmas Jumper day. Several of us dashed on down to Birmingham Cathedral in our festive finery to join in with ‘Carols for the Business Community’ over lunch and enjoyed some mulled wine and mince pies.

Back in the studio, the team all gathered near Balthazar Frost, our ‘Seasonal Merriment Manager,’ to hand out Secret Santa gifts to colleagues. Cries of ‘How did they know?’ and ‘What the…?’ could be heard throughout the studio as we tore open our gifts.

The festivities have continued all week, with a questionable amount of mince pies being consumed and an intolerable amount of sleigh bells on the sound system. We’ve been absolutely delighted to welcome our out-of-towners, Dan and Karl, into the studio for a rare visit. We’ve even hosted evening screenings of Star Wars: Episodes IV, V & VI in the office for the substantial contingent of fans in preparation for the release of ‘The Force Awakens.” Perhaps not festive, but certainly magical.

In the meantime, we’ve been busy little elves, sprinkling magic dust on some fantastic client projects, kicking off some new things and responding to an avalanche of pre-holiday enquiries - all with an extra drop of holiday cheer.

So as our numbers dwindle closer to the holidays, all that’s left for us to say is a very Merry Christmas to all of our clients, partners, suppliers, friends and family. May you and yours have a splendid celebration and cheers to the new year!
