A creative little elf recently told us that Meredith Publishing [think Better Homes and Garden and Men’s Health], the parent company to New Media Strategies, will be partnering with the U.S. State Department to help decorate 17 rooms for the December holiday season at the U.S. State Department’s Harry S. Truman Building and the Blair House as a part of the “Magazine Holiday Design Showcase.” [not included in the 17, the bathroom]

Like you, we find this decorating news fascinating, but more importantly, we’re wondering who’s going to come deck our halls.  We’re hoping New Media Strategies, headed up by Bill Beutler, can swing by to decorate our office this Holiday season.

PS: The full decorating release is here — but we warn you, it’s 12,000 words.
