The traditional holiday season, stretching from Thanksgiving to the New Year, is upon us, and employee owners are preparing to celebrate a cornucopia of diverse customs and festivities with family, friends, and one another. Some of us are planners while others are gatherers, so whether you are responsible for preparing a Griswald-esque turkey feast, perfecting the ultimate side dish bring-along, showing up your in-laws, or simply just showing up, take a moment to consider how this time of gratitude likewise influences the ESOP community.

It’s a time for office get-togethers, festive holiday parties, and enjoying the company of our friends and families.
