Last night we had our IA department's Christmas party. It was a small intimate pajama party that started with a 'breakfast' dinner at Cafe Demitasse.

Goodbyes were also said as some members of our team will no longer be with us next year. It felt sad to miss these people. Our team won't be the same again. But the journey we've been through has been wonderful. I hope they find joy and meaning in the new path ahead of them. Life is made of decisions. It's what we choose and where choose to be that defines where we are heading. A new year is truly ahead of us in IA. Whatever decisions we make, whatever choices we take, even if we go far away, we've already left a part of us with the people we've worked with. That is more than enough to give us hope and move forward. Cheers! PNX - IA Christmas Party 2016

I hope that this season will be more than just parties, meet-ups and kris-kringles. I hope this year's Christmas will be about family and friends, reunions and remembrances, thoughtfulness and generosity. May this Christmas be about gi...
