Christmas Party Extravaganza! And New Year's, Too!

[Cayla]

Welcome!

Here is the venue for this year's party....



The first banquet hall. I have a spare in case we need it...



Place you gifts under the tree (we have 19 days to shop the pictures on the net for our gift exchange. ), and come help decorate it...



Help yourself to the bar....



For those who do not drink alcohol, and for scottydog, we have a hot chocolate bar...



Entertainment, guests, food, and gifts will arrive in the next couple of weeks. Please feel free to join us!

That house reminds me of the houses in Hopkington, NH. Beautiful!

[Cayla]

I want to live in this house!

Oh! Adam Sandler is here!

We can build snowmen...



...and go for sleigh rides on the property...



Sleigh bells ring, are you listening. In the lane, snow is glistening...

[Lupine]

We need some eggnog.

Oooh, the Christmas Party has started. I'll have to round up some victims.

There are actually lots of holidays that are celebrated around the Solstice. Personally, I favor Saturnalia:

^That's Christmas when someone's spiked the eggnog.

Speaking of eight deer, I saw a pack of 8 deer standing in the road about a mile from our house. It was odd. None of them had a red nose.

we saw 2 deer dash past while strolling a track next the woodlans this afternoon...not reindeer tho...

Brutus was upset by the doe standing across the street from my house this morning. He thought she was going to rob us.

While we wait for the food and guests to arrive, here are some things to keep us occupied...

A candy buffet..



Carolers..

The guests are starting to arrive ahead of the blizzard.

We've got some time-traveling Victorian Muppets:



And we've got some heroes, who may need to leave at a moment's notice:











This guy just bounced in:



Some traveler from another dimension in search of some hot chocolate:



Don't ask questions, just give him what he wants:



And... um... uh oh.

[huggle]

we need cookies!

[scottydog]

^^ Everything looks so yummy!

I hope y'all don't mind if I bring a ton of leftover barbecue pork and cole slaw to our Christmas party.

[Cayla]

I must find a recipe for the cinnamon cookies!

Oh! The guests are arriving! Here are some more...
