Well, our Christmas parties for this year start tomorrow, Dec 2nd. And it turns out that we are hosting! Tomorrow evening is the St. Anne's Christmas Party - it was originally going to be at the house of another member, but she has to go out of town this weekend and had to back out of hosting about two weeks ago. They were having trouble finding a replacement host, so I volunteered. (Mind you, this was before I found out that my housekeeper will be in Costa Rica from Thanksgiving until next week.) The budget for the party allows for some catering, but we've had so many rsvp's that there are a few of us making additional food and desserts as well. Each couple attending has been instructed to bring two bottles of wine - one to drink tomorrow evening and one to donate to the wine-pull portion of the upcoming gala to raise money for our sister school Our Lady of Perpetual Help.
We still have to finish decorating the tree, but all the other Christmas decorations are up. Having the party has been a great motivator to get it all done in a hurry! I made the runs to WalMart and Costco this morning to finish getting the food and flowers. Now it's time to start cooking and assembling! I'll let you know how it goes...
