A creative end to the year

is exactly what we've had in the communities team at TheSite.org. The deadline for the design a T-shirt competition has now been called. You can vote for one of the five finalists over on our discussion boards.  Thanks to everyone who entered, we really had our work cut out deciding which entries would make the final.

Also on the boards, we've launched a new forum called Creative. As Jim V says: "We've built this corner of the forum to allow people to express themselves. That could mean poetry, scribblings, whole novels, music, art, film - whatever you've created yourself."

I'm particularly enjoying the photography thread which has seen a splurge of activity since the new forum was launched. Below is one of the images which caught my eye.

Take a look at the whole thread for more interesting images.

Secret santa

This week we've had the joy of picking out a name for Secret Santa ready for TheSite towers Christmas party. I've picked out a boy's name this year, who I've been assured is a sports fan and Arsenal supporter. This is pretty handy as I live near the Emirates Stadium so I'm bound to find some cheesy chrimbo merchandise nearby. I just hope I haven't been led up the garden path and find out he's actually true blue Chelsea or a horrible Hammers fan! :P

Work Christmas parties are a funny thing and it's interesting to hear your views on them on the boards - some people can't wait, while others are well and truly boycotting them.  If you're worried about yours then check out our article on work christmas parties for some survival tips.

I'm quite looking forward to ours, but one thing that does worry me a bit is our annual caption competition. Last year I managed to win a prize for my caption for one of the photos, but this year I'm just horrified to see my own face up for scrutiny. Anyway, I'm letting you have a peak...



What caption would you put on this?
