Week of Christmas

So, I've decided that this is the week of Christmas. Wednesday was the library Chrisymas party. I was on the committee of five that planned the festivities for 280 people who RSVP'd and it was quite the undertaking - especially considering the fact that the room we'd booked only holds 250. We booked a room for overflow and fortunately, enough people didn't show that we ended up not needing the overflow room after all. Which meant I got to sit in the room after all.

I'm re-reading this and I realize that this is a pretty boring post. Bah!

Needless to say, the party went well, I recited Twas' The Night Before Christmas" Voice Male style, and it was a huge success with great accolades thrown my way....with regards to the party, not the recitation....

Yesterday was the BYU ballroom social dance lab with a festive theme. I wasn't in much of a mood for dancing so I only stayed two hours.

Tonight was our department Christmas party. Dinner farm-style, including hot home-made rolls. ~dramatic reminiscence~ I also managed to get a glass Santa Claus martini glass with a handle (yes, hard time picturing it. I understand that.) as my white elephant gift. Not bad. I could've ended with the hub cap.

Tomorrow is our annual Muppet Christmas Carol movie party that Brandon (my roommate) has had since before I moved to Utah. That's a long time.

Sunday is our annual family Christmas party in Sandy.

Yes, that is five....count them....1...2...3...4...5....five parties in five days. I don't think Christmas will get this festive.

I'm going to bed.

By Halloween I hope you mean Christmas, otherwise you're rather late! I'm glad it went well, though.

"I could have gotten the hubcap" was a great line. Really? A hubcap?

And I am sad to be missing the Christmas Carol party. Give my love to everybody. I can't believe we don't own that movie. We are losers. :P

So I am wondering where Nancy saw the word Halloween?

~Nancy~ Yeah. My student, Jordan, brought one of his roommates hubcaps that don't stay on his car.

That's so awesome!

Let me know how your other parties are!

And sorry to correct your mistake I was just like, "They had a what party? In December?"

I to know Christmas party overkill. Mine go Yesterday, tomorrow, then thursday, then Saturday. True I am not as popular as you, I have to either find sitters, or haul a car load of children to each of these......

By the way, thanks for taking the boys home last night!
