LegalMatch Thanksgiving Potluck

The Holiday Season has arrived! I had my official holiday season revelation last week when I was leaving the LegalMatch headquarters in San Francisco. I’d climbed onto my bike and began riding up Market Street when I noticed that the pedestrians were all stopped. When I looked up, the snowflake wreathes that adorn the streetlights had been lit down the Path of Gold and disappeared into the San Francisco Ferry Building. I’d liken the experience to seeing the antennas atop the Sears Tower change to red and green in Chicago, witnessing the tree lighting at Rockefeller Center in New York, or just being able to see the Christmas lights on your house through the blizzard. And oh yes, eggnog is for sale now too!

So, with much pent-up holiday excitement LegalMatch threw a Thanksgiving Potluck. And really, what says Thanksgiving more than a potluck?

While you can see the full visual evidence on the LegalMatch Flickr, employees seemed to pull out all the stops this year with everything from the traditional: turkey, Brad's grandpa's stuffing, vegetables, cookies, and pie; to favorites like chocolate dipped strawberries, fried chicken, and some of the best beans and tortillas I've ever eaten.

There was a lot of talk about holiday plans, ski trips, and how this meal could be taken like a training exercise for the real show tomorrow. And after all the crumbs had settled, each of us waddled back to our desks fully satisfied and definitely a little bit jollier.

Happy Thanksgiving!
 

LegalMatch Celebrates Halloween with a Costume Contest!

There's an undeniable electricity around Halloween. The excitement could be attributed to Halloween being the kick-off to the holiday season or it could be all of the seasonal beers that come out during this time of year. For whichever reason, Halloween is loved by many and celebrated by nearly everyone in some capacity whether it be hiding in the bushes to serve up a "trick" or turning off the lights and pretending you're not home so you can dodge those pesky trick-or-treaters.

LegalMatch in Austin, Texas celebrated with a good old-fashioned costume contest. Some employees dared to show their "freakier side" while others opted to dress up in more classic costumes but like any good Halloween festivity, leather pants were worn. Check out the pictures below and see how many personalities you can decipher. The LegalMatch Photostream on Flickr has the full photo recap.
