From the end of November to the New Year, TVS celebrates the festive holidays. This year, TVS celebrated Thanksmas, a combination of Thanksgiving and Christmas on December 5. Thanksmas was a Christmas pajama party brunch for employees.

Thanksmas brunch was catered by the Cracker Barrel and included pancakes, bacon, and biscuits and gravy. All shifts TVS employees and program participants were invited to the brunch and the TVS Leadership team served the meal.

Christmas music was played and employees were given name tags with holiday generated names such as Fancy Sugargiggles, Bubbles Fairytree, and Tinsel Everglitter.

During the brunch, employees were able to play BINGO, an emoji Christmas Movie Scramble, and could participant in a holiday themed scavenger hunt around the cafetoria. Prizes were given out to the first few winners of each game.

The holiday cheer did not end there, on the last day of work before Christmas, December 23, employees were asked to wear their best ugly Christmas sweaters. The holiday cheer was tacky and visible throughout the building.

Happy New Year to all TVS employees!
