My sweater has a reindeer and bells all over it and I had a necklace with flashing lights, so I was covered in flashing lights. They worked and everything,” Alisha said. “Jim’s was a reindeer one too. We did matching ones last year. He had a reindeer, I had a reindeer and then we found different ones for the kids, because they have a school event tool where they can wear ugly sweaters to as well. So, Jim’s was a reindeer and his says something like ‘Bro, where’s the party?’ His has actual Christmas lights too and the reindeer’s wearing a scarf and glasses. This year, the kids wanted to stay home for Christmas, so we’re having each one choose a side dish and a dessert, so there’s going to be lots of cooking, and pajamas, and board games, and movies.” </span></p> <div class="wp-caption aligncenter" id="attachment_325" style="width: 635px; text-align: justify;"><img alt="monique at staxup storage" class="size-large wp-image-325" data-srcset="http://blog.staxupstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2017/12/IMG_0384_1-768x1024.jpg 768w, http://blog.staxupstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2017/12/IMG_0384_1-225x300.jpg 225w, http://blog.staxupstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2017/12/IMG_0384_1.jpg 1000w" height="833" sizes="(max-width: 625px) 100vw, 625px" src="https://d2i6hs4yervu5x.cloudfront.net/owners/own96d1b2509829489a82d9bcf080e59bc4/website/blog/content/img_0384_1-768x1024.jpg" width="625"/> <p class="wp-caption-text">Monique Quintana-Padilla is a district manager for StaxUP Storage in Southern California.</p> </div> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Monique Quintana-Padilla, <a href="https://www.staxupstorage.com/self-storage">StaxUP Storage District Manager in Southern California</a>.</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">“It was a hot day over here on the 12th. It was like 80 degrees and nobody wanted to wear an ugly sweater!” said Monique Quintana-Padilla. “Everybody thought it was funny. Everybody thought I was crazy for wearing a sweater on a hot day, but I actually wore it all day. I’m the type of person who likes to be warm all day. I have a heater that I keep behind my desk every day to keep me warm. So, yeah, everybody liked it. They liked that I took the time to put the little locks on. I had all the different locks latched in there with the ornaments, so it was pretty good.”</span></p> <p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://staxupstorage.com"><img alt="StaxUP Storage" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-32" data-srcset="http://blog.staxupstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2017/04/Stax-Up-Logo-cutout-300x197.png 300w, http://blog.staxupstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2017/04/Stax-Up-Logo-cutout-768x505.png 768w, http://blog.staxupstorage.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/20/2017/04/Stax-Up-Logo-cutout-1024x674.png 1024w" height="197" sizes="(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" src="https://d2i6hs4yervu5x.cloudfront.net/owners/own96d1b2509829489a82d9bcf080e59bc4/website/blog/content/stax-up-logo-cutout-300x197.png" width="300"/></a></p> </div>
