Is your company canceling this year's Christmas Party?

Head over an let me know if you company is having a party this year or not...

Associated Press writer Joyce Rosenberg recently penned an excellent article, "Go ahead with holiday parties, even if money's short."

Rosenberg also lists many excellent money-saving ideas to help cut costs on the holiday party. Head on over to read the excellent ideas and share your tips...

Use End of the Year Awards Year-Round

Most people who buy funny awards do so for end-of-the-year celebrations. But humor in the workplace should be used year-round, not just in December. Here's an excellent case study of using our funny recognition awards year-round

Funny Awards Blog

In an post earlier this year, I alluded to a forthcoming eBook in my post, Million Dollar eBook Marketing Plan.

Visit Funny Awards BlogI've spent the past year tuning up the Pay-Per-Click and Search Engine Optimization campaigns, as well as searching out the best advertising mediums for the eBook. I firmly believe this is a Million Dollar Idea.

I'll continue posting about my marketing and advertising successes/failures on this blog, but I'm moving the majority of posts about the funny awards themselves to the newly launched Funny Awards Blog.

As you may have guessed, the blog launch is part of the Million Dollar eBook Marketing Plan. Stay tuned - things are about to get interesting.

GoAnimate.com - Animation Made Easy

I'm an animator now. I published my first animated cartoon on the web only a few hours after hearing about GoAnimate.com. It's that easy. But I must warn you: only visit the site if you are prepared to forsake everything else in your life. Feed your kids first, then visit. It's that addictive.

Watch Funny Employee Awards - Worst Idea of the Year

Admittedly I put little thought into my debut into animation. I found an office background, imported a couple of characters, and had them go at it. But it's still pretty cool, right? I'm planning a whole series to promote www.FunnyEmployeeAwards.com

I may also animate some comedy sketches from my CDs like "Ghost in the Trailer," "Escape From Alimony", or "Hip Hop Hoedown". Stay tuned!

Funny Awards - Download 101 Funny Award Certificates

Funny Awards Now on Sale!
Everything you need to know to organize an entertaining and rewarding ceremony is in my new Funny Employee Awards eBook.

Funny AwardsAnd most important, you’ll get 101 funny awards certificates appropriate for everyone around the office, no matter the employee or the type of business.

It's about time for end of the year office party season to begin. This means awkward dinner conversation, subjecting your new boyfriend/girlfriend to your dysfunctional coworkers, and - best of all - funny awards presentations.

I'm collecting stories and award ideas for my new site dedicated to funny awards, FunnyEmployeeAwards.com. There you will find:

Apparently any business can be subjected to funny awards. They are most often associated with office parties, but no worker is immune. They're not unique to the U.S., either. The British particularly seem to enjoy a good "cheeky" awards presentation.

I once had a boss ask me to PhotoShop the head of one of my female coworkers onto the body of a bikini model. I explained to him that this seemed... well, inappropriate, and that I wanted no part of it. Undeterred, he used the old-fashioned scissors and glue method to fashion a funny award certificate featuring the head of my coworker pasted onto the body of WWE women's wrestler Chyna. I don't recall the award, but I'll always remember the uncomfortable presentation that ensued. It was truly a moment worthy of The Office's Michael Scott himself.

So what are your funny award stories? What funny awards have you seen? Post them below to the comments section and keep checking back for ideas!
