Our offices will be closed for the holidays starting on Friday, Dec. 21 at 5 p.m., reopening for regular business hours Wednesday, Jan. 2. We will be checking e-mail and voice mail regularly through the holidays, but if you need to contact someone immediately, please call (615-293-7004) or email John Lavey.

If you need to reach a specific person, several folks have provided contact information on their People pages. Again, almost everyone checks their email daily, as well.

Never ones to miss a party, we started our celebration of the season in mid-December at our Hammock holiday party (a long-standing Hammock tradition and one not to be missed). Cole and Summer Huggins were in attendance from Austin, Texas, as was Shannon McRae of Dothan, Ala. Enjoy the slideshow, featuring a number of us in silly hats from our Christmas crackers.

Happy holidays from all of us at Hammock--and best of the New Year to you for 2008!
