Paula's Book Club Christmas Party


Here we are with little Saint Nic


Sarah set a beautiful table, with beautiful party favors.

My favorite Christmas party every year is my bookclub party. We have a plan we follow every year. Everyone brings an appetizer to share, and certain people have favorites that they MUST bring! Like HOME MADE MARSHMELLOWS. After eating (more than we should!) we play an ornament game. Everyone brings an ornament every year. As soon as we get to Sarah's, we put our ornament in a gift bag. All the bags are the same, so we can't originally tell who brought the ornament. We draw numbers, and person #1 chooses the bag they want. #2 gets to choose a new bag or steal from #1, and so on. #1 gets the final say, and each ornament can be touched only 3 times. The 3rd person gets to keep it. After the ornament game, we exchange gifts, and finish off with chocolate fondue. YUM! This year we learned interesting things about office supplies.

I'M SO SORRY about the marshmallows! Apparently, I need a secretary too. I promise to do better next year.
