Volusion hosted its 2008 Halloween costume contest on Friday, with employees in both our Simi Valley, California and Austin, Texas locations competing for the $200 grand prize.
Costumes this year showed no shortage of creativity or humor, ranging from Picasso to McGruber from SNL to an iPod shadow dancer complete with a neon green background.

Props are in order for five members of our talented design team, who banded together for a group costume and came out on top with their rather convincing rendition of a championship dodgeball team:

The dodgeball team was complete with a coach, Volusion team uniforms (my favorite touch: sweat bands), a trophy and of course, a dodge ball. Their coordination and creativity paid off in the form of the cash prize as well as bragging rights valid through October 2009. Congratulations team!

The History of Thanksgiving
After a long and arduous journey, the Pilgrims aboard the Mayflower reached their final destination at Plymouth Rock on December 11, 1620. A year after their arrival, the first American Thanksgiving took place to celebrate a plentiful harvest after a long and bitter winter. The three-day feast included ninety one American Indians, whom many believe the Pilgrims would not have survived without. Several years later there were many discussions over the official day of Thanksgiving, including controversy over its formal date. From 1939 to 1941, Franklin D. Roosevelt, in an effort to lengthen Christmas shopping, proclaimed Thanksgiving as the third Thursday in November. Unfortunately for online sellers, the lengthened shopping season was quickly overturned. The official date was changed in 1941, when Thanksgiving was sanctioned by Congress as a legal holiday to take place on the fourth Thursday in November of every year.
