Before I forget to do this (again!), here’s the rundown on the Christmas party I had Saturday Dec. 3rd. PH showed up early and helped me run around getting the last minute cleaning done. JP & SP were the first to show after that and we got into watching some of my Christmas DVDs of the Rankin & Bass stuff like Santa Claus is Coming to Town and The Little Drummer Boy. JL made it and proclaimed that he’d “do” Jessica (the future Mrs. Claus). We all joked about the psychadelic song scene she has that none of us remember from the tv version. I managed to get JL to help me decorate the tree after I finished putting lights on. I decided to slack off some this year and we (meaning he and later BH’s old roommate) only put up a fraction of my ornaments.
More people showed up and we got into cookie baking and playing games. TC beat me at bean farmer by just 2 gold! I can’t remember what order we played games in, but we got into a few rounds of my muppet uno using our house rules (jumping in and stacking draws). I need to get a copy of Fluxx for next game day. The gift exchange went well too, not much stealing went on. TC got a light saber tree topper. Ok, not really, but I’m sure they could use it for that too. I got a neat little top with a holder and string you use to spin it. Only the next day there was only 2 inches of string left. I wonder where it went. (Hint: devil kitty’s tummy.) There were no disturbingly bad gag gifts like the creature I ended up with last year.
Summary: Movies! Neat. Cookies! Yum. Games! Fun. Gifts! Yay. All done!
