“How did we all imagine to get Joe’s name for secret santa?  Joe, did you just write your name down five times?”

“Yeah….”

This reminded me of something I learned from HGTV (why are 90% of the show hosts Canadian? Nothing against Canadia, I swear. It’s just an observation!): you can volunteer to help decorate the White House for Christmas! There are two approaches you can take:

1. Find out (by contacting the White House) if there’s a florist in your area volunteering and offer your services
2. Write a letter, addressed to the First Lady or the White House Chief of Staff) explaining why the White House Christmas decorations would be so much more awesome if you were helping out.

One of the volunteers spent hours curling black and white pipe cleaners to make a larger-than-life Bo. Another volunteer took forever hanging a bow or something or other and held up the placing of a four-HUNDRED-pound gingerbread and white chocolate White House.

Don’t you want to hop on that?
