At Obsidian, December is short, sweet and busy. Check out what we’ve been up to this month! 

Holiday happenings

Even though we work together, our team loves an excuse to hang out! This year for our holiday party, we held a Dirty Santa gift exchange, escaped the 90s and classic Christmas movies at Memphis Escape Rooms, decorated cookies at Sweet LaLa’s and finished the day with lunch at Ronnie Grisanti’s.

Outside of the office, we had loads of fun with friends, family and loved ones. From baking and bowling to traveling to Tokyo, this season was one to remember.

Taylor – Made croissants from scratch

Haley – Hung out with all her pets

Carlee – Went bowling (and won!)

Christina – Traveled to Tokyo

Lauren – Attended Holiday Wonders at the Memphis Botanic Garden with her family

Rebecca – Went to the Memphis Zoo’s Lantern Festival

Peyton – Made a gingerbread house

Gracie – Took her puppy on a walk around Hyde Lake at Shelby Farms

Starting with the one in the mirror

A new year often inspires feelings of self-reflection. It’s the end of beginning – a time to reminisce while planning for the future. Our team took some time to discuss these themes and how they can help you in 2026.

• We are family – creating a genuine office culture
• Ain’t no mountain high enough – bridging the gap for internal communication barriers
• R-E-S-P-E-C-T – showing appreciation in the digital age
• You’re amazing just the way you are – taking stock of your successes and developing a plan for replication
