Christmas at Moog Baguio

On 12/15/07, a couple of days before I was leaving Baguio to go back to the states for Christmas, I wandered down to the Gear Cell to check on some things. I had heard a machine was done, and when I approached the machine, I saw the machine carving out a baby jesus. I asked him what he was doing, and he said making our Christmas decorations. I later found out that there is a Moog competition every year, and each department enters their special Christmas decoration. I just had to laugh though...I teased their supervisor Robert for a while about that. I said "is this what your machinists do when machines are down...make Christmas decorations?" Needless to say, they did an awesome job.
