Parties..Parties Galore

We had a really nice time at the Pickaway Christmas party. The food was delicious, we had a potluck, and every lady brought a dozen cookies, which of course were wonderful! Doris had games ready to play for everyone. One game had three of us ladies with Vaseline slathered all over our chins, cheeks and necks. (I was one of the lucky ones) The teams stuck cotton balls on our faces and the one that looked the most like Santa Clause won. It was a really cute game, but I've had a sticky neck every since. After a couple more games, we finished out the night singing Christmas carols. It was a really nice time.
So many plans, so little time. After church tomorrow, we have the Spires family Christmas party to be held at Wills Aunt Helen and Uncle Bill's condo. Helen is known for her big parties. She's taken the family to Oglebay on a chartered bus, thrown the Christmas party at the Columbus zoo where she gave each family and each single person a Longaberger Picnic basket, which is why Will and I have one. Last year the party was held in the Fireside room of their church building, where she had everyone pick a gift out of a book and she ordered the gift for delivery, then she had everyone act out a play. While everyone was telling her what they wanted, she had Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer playing on the big screen tv. Never a dull moment.
Well, I'm getting sleepy and should get ready for bed, so I'll sign off for now.
