10 Best Things about the Holidays

We are in the thick of the holiday season! Christmas is only two days away! It's a time for family, friends, decorating and hanging lights. A time for the magic of Santa and gift-giving. Here is the Arcus list of holiday favorites!

10. Wishing people "Happy Holidays", "Merry Christmas", "Happy Hanukkah", etc. - It's a fantastic way to begin or end a conversation. I wish we had festive greetings for the rest of the year, don't you?

9. Christmas Lights - There are some amazing lights this year in nearby Hershey, PA. Check out this link here for my favorite YouTube video of Christmas Lights: this guy must be a Griswold!

8. Snow - And we certainly had plenty of it this past week!

7. Christmas movies - Rudolph, Frosty, The Grinch, It's a Wonderful Life, White Christmas, A Christmas Story, National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation, A Christmas Carol, Miracle on 34th Street, The Santa Clause, and Elf are some of the favorites around Arcus Corporate Headquarters!

6. Holiday Food - At Arcus, we like to work hard and play hard. And to do that, and keep up our energy, we like food. A lot. Too much, according to our Wellness Committee!

5. The Arcus Christmas Party - We had a bang up time on December 5th. It was a casual evening with fantastic food and drink!

4. Giving Gifts - The shopping may be annoying but there is nothing like seeing your loved one unwrap the perfect gift.

3. The Decorations - You should see the Arcus Cafe! We have some gorgeous decorations created by Amy Hewitt!

2. Time with family, friends and my Arcus Team! Is there anything better this time of year?

1. The tradition - Family, friends, food, festivities, presents, cookies for Santa, overfull stockings or watching a good film; traditions are essential to the human experience.

Happy Holidays from Arcus!
