Christmas Party at TDC

Nothing is business as usual, when it's the Christmas season in Toronto...or very little. To satiate the appetite for a party, the associates in Toronto decided to take some time out of their busy schedule and celebrate the holiday season in their own style. After some quick brainstorming, we decided that Pizzas would be the best option. As an additional topping, we decided to have a game of Secret Santa to garnish the geek food in Christmas flavor. The news of Pizzas for lunch, cheered up everybody, and the flooding of Inboxes and Instant Messenger windows of the organisers were a proof for the same.

Thankfully, the pizzas were delivered right on time and within seconds, the room was filled with the sight of huge open pizza boxes, the sound of crunching and munching and the aroma of spicy sauces.  Like brave soldiers, they rested only after the mission was complete :) !

After a quick round to their respectives desks to check their calls, mails, etc. they were all back with their secret gifts to play Secret Santa. The game was aready a  proven success, but this year it was all the more fun, because of increased participation and alluring gifts. Crying for gifts, hiding their favourite ones to keep it from being stolen and even sweetly fighting for them, by the software engineers converted any skeptic to believe on the saying that, "There's a child in every grownup"; and the innocence of a child's smile was evident on everyone's lips after the game.


Thanking Santa for the gifts, wishing each other a merry christmas, praying for love and peace in the world and hoping for the next party soon, we culminated the event and got back to work.
