heavy shop holiday party

if there is one thing folks at mcmurdo know how to do, *grin* it's throw a party. the parties here are, without question, some of the best!

these lovely photos are from our holiday party held over at the VMF-vehicle maintanence facility; basically we partied down in our autoshop! leave it to ice folks to make a party in the most unexpected places!



our christmas choir sang for a few hours and then the party turned to swing dancing! even the most terrible dancers hit the floor-some quite literally.



each department was required to build chirstmas decorations. the most impressive was the leg lamp from "the christmas story". unfortunately, i forgot to take a photo.

however, i did get some shots with santa on the antarctic skidoo! i am accompanied by my roommates: elizabeth and krista, and santa is an electrician!



my department, ATO-antarctic terminal operations-all posed for a photo too! most of the shuttlies are missing, but these are many of the faces i see every day!
