On the 15th I went to the eagerly anticipated party hosted by Chris. Last year's Halloween and Christmas parties, and this year's Halloween party were so great that it was hard to imagine he could make it any better. He never disappoints! Always the host with the most.
His entire home was wrapped up Christmas style. Several activities were planned.
First up was the tree trimming. Of course, most of the decorations were made by Chris - pictures of himself and friends.
And of course, the star has to top the tree!
Then there was a bit of a game of paper bag pinatas, using a small wooden sword that Chris had on display in his room. The game evolved a few times:
soft ball style
T-ball style
A little later, once the mess of shattered candy was cleaned up, we played a game of pin-the-candycane-on-the-elf. Since the blindfold was no-where to be found, we had to settle for just closing our eyes. It worked well anyway.
Then came the Christmas Story and carols. Every Christmas, Chris writes a story and carols for his friends.
What is a Christmas party without a visit from Santa?
Or a customary photo with the Man in Red.Everyone participated in the White Elephant gift exchange. There was a wide range of gifts from just plain useful to the useless, the funny to the questionable, etc.
games
winter hats
SPAM, toilet paper
Another thing that Chris always plans is a variety of contests such as naming a character or coming up with a caption for a picture. I won one of the caption contests, but won't tell you what it was.
