What a week! The Christmas season has definitely arrived. This week has ushered in a variety of activities that can only resound that the holidays have officially begun and although a little tiring, I have enjoyed every minute.
Tuesday evening, I attended the first party of December. I was invited to a Sunday School party at the home of my dear friend, Vera, and what a wonderful time I had. The girls had a dinner meal which was great; chicken and dressing, two unique recipes of green bean and corn dishes, escalloped potatoes, rolls, appetizers, and desserts. We had a gift exchange and I received this gold, glittered Nativity scene. I absolute love it. The girls played "Dirty Santa", and I feel fortunate that I got to keep it.
Thursday afternoon, I entertained the ladies I work and teach with from the career and tech center. I prepared the food and drinks so they could come and relax a little while. Here are all of us in front of my Christmas tree.
Here is our table of goodies. I had chicken cheese puffs, chips and salsa, vegetables and dip, and a cheese ball with crackers that one of the other ladies actually made. For sweets, we had baby turtles, peppermint bark, and German chocolate brownies. Along with our soft drinks, I made cinnamon apple cider. The cider is a favorite for us at work and the party would not have been complete without it.
Take a look at my veggie tray. It should look just a little like a Christmas tree.
We played a game to exchange ornaments and again, I received a beautiful one. I was so pleased. The angel was a hostess gift to me from one of the ladies.
The Living Christmas Tree at church began on Friday night and I'll share more about it later. On Saturday, we had the Deacon/Ladies Luncheon at noon, a LCT performance at 2, and then we went to a Christmas drop-in at the Davis home (our close church friends) for snacks. They traditionally give home-made ornaments each year. I have a collection of several that are very special. Here is the new one.
Well, again, it has been a very busy week. Friday and Saturday nights, I slept really well. Wonder what made me so tired?
