Countdown to Christmas 14- JYC -The end of an era

The last 3 months have been a bitter/sweet time at work.......the government funded organisation that I've worked for for the past 10 years closes its doors on December 31st......it would be easy to blame government cutbacks.......but the local education authority had been given the money to fund it......they chose to use it elsewhere.....despite massive protests by the local schools.
Each week there have been less and less people in the office.....as they were redeployed......or found other jobs......it began to look like a ghost town.....and even the furniture and resources began disappearing
On Friday we had our work christmas party.......billed by the organisers as 'The Big One'......because it was the last one.....ever.....and over 100 employees and former employees attended....a grand sending off for an organisation that has changed the lives of many children and their parents locally.
It was also a rather loud and raucous send off......with large quantities of food and alcohol.......the music cranked up.......the games very silly......the laughter and the tears flowing.

And with my JYC page I decided to focus on the debris........possibly the sign of a great party??
