Our office had a blast last Friday night here on Montana Ave. Ours was the most popular party on the street.
Thank you to all our friends, clients and colleagues that attended. If you missed the party, go to our facebook page, I have lots of candid shots from the evening. Our party always get me in the Christmas spirit. Since it’s always held on the 1st Friday of December, it coincides with many Holiday Season events going on around Santa Monica.
Here are few of my faves. Wear your old ugly sweaters to the Santa Monica Pub Crawl to raise money for the Westside Food Bank. This annual event is this Saturday at 5pm. Tickets are $10 and you can choose one of four designated routes for the evening.

In fact, you can earn bonus points for your school with all your purchases at the mall, just bring your receipt to the concierge.
