Christmas Eve



Tonight is Christmas Eve.  We had a great time in the rec. hall together as an RV park.  Everyone brought finger foods and the table was laden with all kinds of good things to eat.  We played some games.  One game was composed of pictures and we had to identify the carol the picture represented.  As an example:  a deck of cards in the middle of a room was "Deck the Halls".  Then we were given another sheet of paper that had just the hair of comic strip characters and we had to identify the character.  It was fun. 

Then we played team games or men against the women games.  With one game the person was given a Popsicle stick and had to balance three dice for the count of three.  The women won.

You go girl!
My favourite game was one where Brenda and George were each given an Oreo Cookie.  They had to put the cookie on their forehead and using only their face muscles they had to work the cookie to their mouth.  There were a lot of suggestions from the peanut gallery and lots of laughter. A good time was had by all.

After the games the candles were lit and the small choir sang a Christmas carol or two.





Come on, Brenda!
 
 
I am back in the old RV and can hear the firecrackers going off.  They will be popping most of the night.  Our Mexican/Texan neighbours like their firecrackers. There are firecracker shops all over this valley. 
 
Tomorrow is our RV park Christmas dinner.  Hope I am hungry by then.
 
A special Christmas greeting to my family.  I LOVE AND MISS YOU ALL!
 
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL AND TO ALL A GOOD-NIGHT!

I've done the oreo cookie one, it's funny isn't it? It's worse in a hot country because the heat of your skin makes it melt faster.
