The intersection of the Midwest's recent record-breaking cold snap ... along with this year's Christmas holiday gift sensation created a very special event in Redstone's Media Department.

Friday was declared "Snuggie Friday" by several members of the Media Department.

While not everyone was able (or willing) to bring their Snuggie to the office. You'll see in the photo below that the famous "as-seen-on-tv" product has a fair number of fans including our own Amanda, Alison, Shiletha and Renee.

Inspired by the event, the Creative Department immediately announced plans to develop the "Ruggie" ... a new toupee with ear holes. Look for it in a department store near you soon.
