The sky was as blue as it could be this morning, yet, when nighttime was resting, a romantic blend of wintry absorption fell. A perfect day!
We had our annual Christmas party today held again at the Ramada Inn. Lucky me, I received my 10 year award! $100 for every year. And as always, the turkey, the ham, the mashed potatoes, the sweet potatoes, the pasta, the salad, the rolls, the gravy, the dressing - yes, a typical Christmas buffet with many waiters to serve our every need!
The 12 Days of Christmas performed on stage by nervous first time performers! We had a blast. Gwen - a partridge in a pear tree; Jen - 2 turtle doves; Jackie - 3 french hens; Jimmy - 4 calling birds; Anita - 5 golden rings; Fran - 6 geese a laying; me - 7 swans a swimming; Sandra - 8 maids a milking; Schere - 9 ladies dancing; Casper - 10 lords a leaping; Jamie - 11 pipers piping; and last but not least Joann - 12 drummers drumming. Our wonderful director of the production Gail - sang as we performed "The 12 Days of Christmas". The closeness each of us shared in the making of this skit was charismatic. Changing in our one large dressing room exposing all was ice melting (only one lady preferred changing in the closet); and of course, Jimmy, the only male, afterwards just turned his head. We had the whole audience roaring in laughter. Afterwards, when the many praises arrived, we were told "how good it felt to laugh again - that we all needed that laughter".
