Merry Christmas from the team at The Hometown Veterinarian in Marshalltown, IA

As the year came to a close, we gathered for one of our favorite annual traditions: THV Staff Christmas Party! Held on December 23rd, this festive event was a wonderful way to celebrate the holiday season together, reflect on a year of hard work, and share some much-needed fun and laughter.

One of the highlights of our party was our Secret Santa gift exchange. Each team member thoughtfully selected a special gift for their chosen recipient, and there were plenty of smiles and surprises as presents were unwrapped. It’s always heartwarming to see how well we know each other and how much thought goes into each gift.

A new song was even written! We present to you "The Twelve Days of Vet Med"

We also held a Cookie Decorating Contest, which brought out the creative side of our team! Everyone showcased their decorating skills, and the results were as delicious as they were artistic. We asked our Facebook followers to help us crown the THV Best Cookie Decorator, and after tallying the votes, the winner was none other than Dr. Franken! Congratulations!

Special thanks to Lenihan School Bakery for providing the cookies for our contest. Their sugar cookies were not only delicious but also made for a fun and festive activity that brought out our team’s creativity. If you’re looking for tasty treats, we highly recommend checking them out.

We’re grateful to everyone who participated in our Facebook poll to help choose the winner, and we hope you enjoyed seeing the highlights from our celebration. From our family at The Hometown Veterinarian to yours, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season filled with joy, peace, and love.

Below are some pictures from the day.
