2024 - Anything Christmas Related

🎄Okay, at your prompting, I risked my life putting the Christmas lights around the window and they will stay up until a younger person takes them down. I am not doing such a foolish thing again and I forgive myself for procrastinating the task. I put the fake large candy cane on the door and will add the cards as they come in.

I pulled out my holiday vest to wear today when I go to the community center for the holiday meal. I wash the dishes and help clean up every Wednesday and it is especially fun for the holidays. I love dressing for the holidays and so do others. When people dress up it makes the day more fun. ☃️
 

I'd like to see the local senior's club start up again. The former mayor was in charge, but she didn't seek re-election and has since moved out of the area. The senior's Christmas parties were real wing-dings. Before you suggest I do it - I don't have the connections, resources or creativity the mayor had. Here are some photos of those parties past:

What is the worst thing you ever got in a holiday grab bag?

Mine is tied between an electric corn cob and a roll of Lifesavers. The corn cob was from the first year I worked as a microbiologist (1972) and the lab had a Christmas party. The gift had to be worth at least $1 (remember that is like $7 - $8 today). I remember putting in a bottle of wine. What a gyp. Someone asked me later if I plugged it in. I said I did but it didn't do anything.

The lifesavers were from the Grange party and by then the minimum gift vale was supposed to be $5. I know what I put in was worth a lot more than Lifesavers.
