This year will see the return of my annual Xmas party to decorate my tree. I’ve been doing this for many years, and it’s always enjoyable. It will be about 10 or 11 people, and everyone is vaccinated. Everyone will bring food to share, and I will provide a large cheese board and some drinks. After we decorate the tree, we will exchange gag gifts that everyone is also bringing. Some of the gifts in past years were really hilarious. There was the year someone opened a small package to find wet grass. The person who brought it exclaimed, “Oh no! The ice sculpture of baby Jesus melted!” I’m so glad to be able to have this party again this year after canceling it last year.
