Evergreen Holiday PartyEvergreen Carpet Care Holiday Party

Evergreen Carpet Care holds its company Christmas party at the Peppermill, and on December 9, 2023 I was their DJ in the Naples 6 and 7 room. Nicole Carter booked me in September for a party of about 70 guests.

Nicole sent me the plan for the night: her husband Dale handing out the company’s awards, dinner at 7:00, then musical chairs for the adults, trivia, a white elephant gift exchange, a Wobble off and the dance party.

Guests came in to Christmas music: It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas by Michael Bublé, Hark! The Herald Angels Sing by Nat King Cole, I Heard The Bells by Bing Crosby, All I Want For Christmas Is You by Mariah Carey and Last Christmas by Wham!.

Then Dale took the podium for the year’s awards. One by one his team came up for their crystal trophies, some with a few words of their own, with coworkers clapping behind them.

After dinner the music picked up: Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond, Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show, Don’t You Want Me by The Human League, Tennessee Whiskey by Chris Stapleton and Burning Down The House by Talking Heads. Then came the games, musical chairs for the grown ups with game show music on, and after that Wobble by V.I.C..

That night got better as it went on. After the Evergreen crew headed home, a few hotel guests wandered in and the dance floor kept going.

Josh from Take One Media filmed the party, and every photo on this page is a frame from his footage.
