Worked late tonight on some new designs.  I love when the store is lit appropriately…..  The music was blasting a Pandora radio mixing Daft Punk and OutKast.  Pretty badass.

There was a huge snow storm yesterday so we built and igloo and made some badass torches.

We made the igloo by packing snow into recycling bins and stacking the blocks onto each other.  Then we criss-crossed 2×6′s, layed cut pine trees on top then, and piled it with snow.  We spent the night inside of it.

These pictures were taken the day:  THE IGLOO ACTUALLY CONDENSED AND SHRUNK 2 FEET which was WILD.  The night before we could stand inside.  The next day though, the walls were like stone.

Since I’m only 24, my ability to buy Christmas presents was always hinder with lack of money.  Don’t get me wrong, I was always able to finagle something- this company was inspired by a drawing I gave my sister for Christmas.

But this year was something special.  We have created a very successful business, so much that I somehow get paid.  I only say “somehow” because I was doing this for 4 years before I even got any regular paycheck.  I know how to live (and build a business) with a zero budget.

In saying this, it feels absolutely FANTASTIC to actually buy things for the people I love.  I’m so happy.

Work hard, play hard, and Merry Christmas.  Can’t wait ’til next year.

Monopoly is the best game ever.  There’s a huge misconception on how to win.  People think that you try to screw people.  But this is not true.  The trick is to play 100% fair and let other people make mistakes.  In the pictures, I’m the one with 3 hotels on all my properties.

And if you’ve never played the credit card version, play it!  It’s sooooo much better.

Good luck!
