Holiday Traditions

RAMSA Staff

Celebrating nearly four decades of hand-drawn holiday party invitations.

RAMSA has a longstanding tradition of creating hand-drawn invitations for our annual staff holiday party.

When we organized our first in-office holiday party for staff in 1984, designer Tim Lenahan drew an invitation that depicted jovial scenes framed by an arcade of classical columns. Tim’s festive, hand-drawn sketches became an annual tradition—and after his tragic passing in 1992, RAMSA Partner Grant Marani honored Tim’s legacy by continuing it. In recent years, Grant’s illustrations have evolved into our annual holiday card, inviting others to celebrate this cherished tradition with us.

Please enjoy and happy holidays!
