"I brought the best gift for 95.3 The Bear's Dirty Santa, and I left with the worst" says John Ramey.  (Pictured 2nd from the left holding a silver Koozie with a frown)

Last night, 953 The Bear's Christmas Party was a big hit and here are some of the exciting moments.  We'll start by ZOOMin' in on John Ramey, perhaps the loser in the game of Dirty Santa.  Hey, lets be clear...every game is meant to have a winner and a loser.  "When they took my picture of me holding up my prize, I just closed my eyes, and pretended like i was in Gordo, at Muleday, with Wild Bill, eating some dang gator on a stick!  It aint no big deal to me but i did bring a 25.00 gift to a 20.00 minimum deal here."

(Notice our wonderful Sales Manager, Julie Salters almost leaning away in fear, while maintaining a beautiful Christmas smile, simultaneously.  "In Dirty Santa, I try to get what I brought usually  cause I usually like my gift.  Tonight, thats exactly what i did, so I'm happy with my screw top bottle of wine" she said giggling away while turing up the bottle)

Diesel the Dog, in front of Audio Bob (who is trying to "pick up" the 2 young beautiful new TSM talents to the left) and John Ramey behind him calling his wife, still complaining about the Dirty Santa loss and looks like some dude is trying to take a close-up of Simone while Tommy Paradise just sits and giggles cause he gets to sit next to Simone.  My man, Ben George, pictured fuzzy because of a "slight buzz" thinking, "as soon as Ramey stops gipping on the phone I will get back in the photo spot."  Linda McNeil, pictured in pink kept dancing the entire night so all photos of her show her dancing and clapping.  Someone said she wanted karaoke, instead of "a fancy smanchy party."  She was over heard with Wild Bill saying "I'd be good with beanie weenies at this thang, lets just get the party going please!"  Let's be clear, I just might be making some of this stuff up and of course, I'm kidding with all this non-sense because we really truly have a great team at Tuscaloosa Townsquare Media and 95.3 The Bear! :)

Btw, Ben George & Julie Salters were declared the official winners because they both received booze and it's 33 degrees as I type this....

The Colonel took this pic by saying, "Hey we need the 953 Bear air-staff all standing in front of these pictures of dead people!"  (Left to right, Melody, Steve Shannon, Simone Eli, Monk and Wild Bill)  This is the new sound of 95.3 The Bear, it's a really talented team!

Gonna be honest, I'm not sure who this dude was who showed up but he said "I know David Dubose real well" so I let him inside.  Pretty cool dude btw actually pulled a toothpick outta that stache while looking me right in the eye.  His name is WBAM, pronounced "Wha-Bam!"  Before you ask, no he is not the My Name IS EARL guy.

In the end, The 2016 Tuscaloosa Townsquare Christmas Party was an ABSOLUTE BLAST! At the very last minute, Louie Linguini (one of our newest additions to the staff) climbed in the window and we captured the moment of Christmas 2016!  I'm thankful to be part of this team and my lovely wife (sitting front row to the left) attended as well freshly off a knee surgery.  Guess who gave us a ride back to the truck several blocks away on a cold, cold night?  John Ramey, thats who...a good man, a good friend, and a winner in my book!

Merry Christmas to ALL, from 95.3 The Bear and Tuscaloosa Townsquare Media!!! :)
