Helloooooo thereeee People!


🎅 Ho Ho Ho, Office Elves! 🎄 'Tis the season for our annual Secret Santa! Whether you're a seasoned gift-giver or a first-timer, get ready for some festive fun with your colleagues. ✨


Did you know? The tradition of Secret Santa began in Scandinavia, where they called it "Julklapp" - literally meaning "Christmas knock." People would knock on doors, throw in presents, and run away before being spotted! 🎁 While we won't be doing any present-throwing (health and safety, folks), we'll keep the mystery alive. 🤫


Need gift inspiration? Consider personalised mugs with inside jokes ☕, desk-friendly plants for the green-thumbed, local craft beer for the pub enthusiasts 🍺, or handmade treats for the foodies 🍪. Remember, it's the thought that counts!

PS: No hints about who got who - we've got spies everywhere, and they work for Santa! 🧝‍♂️

TIME TO MAKE YOUR LIST!

🎅 On December 4th, Santa's List Day celebrates the day that Santa puts together his list of naughty and nice children. It's also a day for kids, well everyone.... to start working on their holiday wish lists! ✨


One more tradition is Santa's naughty and nice list 📜. The first mention of such a list occurs in the song, "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." J. Fred Coots and Haven Gillespie wrote the fun Christmas song in 1934. The song included the lyrics, "He's making a list, He's checking it twice, He's gonna find out who's naughty or nice." The song goes on to say that Santa Claus sees everything that boys and girls do, so they better be good for goodness sake!


The whole idea of kids being naughty or nice may have come from 16th century Holland. Before there were stockings, parents placed their children's clogs near the fireplace. Good children would find candy or cookies on their clogs. Naughty children, however, would find a lump of coal! ⭐

Even though Santa might make his list on December 4th, there is still time for naughty children to make it on Santa's nice list! 🎄

 

HAPPENINGS

Goodbye Natasha 💌


Natacha's colleagues came together to bid a heartfelt farewell to Natasha. Earlier this week, a groupe of colleagues shared a lovely lunch at an Italian restaurant to celebrate her time with us. We'll truly miss her radiant smile, infectious laughter, and the positive vibes she brought to every moment. Natasha, you’ve been an absolute gem, and we wish you all the best in this new chapter of your journey! 💐

Loads to celebrate this month at CASS! 🎉

Our lovely Ameerah had her birthday on the 26th, and the CASS team couldn't let it slip by without a proper celebration! The whole team gathered for a cozy lunch in the office - because who doesn't love a bit of office party action?

And if that wasn't enough party vibes for one update, the team organised a birthday lunch for both Yashoda and Teyha at Sitar Bagatelle. Nothing beats a good curry with great company, eh? The Indian feast was absolutely spot on! 🎂 It was also the occasion to say goodbye to Teyha. We'll miss having you around! 💝Good luck for your new adventure.
