We have a pot-luck lunch as a whole for Thanksgiving on a day when we are closed to the public. We gather together for food and fellowship after morning duties are completed and work together to finish afternoon routines so everyone has a semi-short day. This year we are doing our Christmas party at a "rage room" with finger foods and snacks. The younger staff members are very excited, lol! The Board puts together goodie bags/stockings for staff members, and we usually play Dirty Santa with a small limit gift for whomever wishes to participate. For the shelter pets, each animal has a stocking that people can donate toys, treats, sponsorships, etc. with and then that stocking goes home with the pet once it is adopted.

Does your organization do anything special around the holidays to give thanks for staff and volunteers? How about for staff working on actual holidays, do you provide lunch or treats to show appreciation? Please share for inspiration!
