Once again the Christmas parties at Morning Star were a blast this year. From great food and good fellowship to goofy White Elephant gifts, there is no mistake that this year's parties were a success. The host families were the McAdams, Sanchez, Myers, Scotts, and the Metras. A special thanks to these families for opening their homes as well as leading the group parties.
At the Metras' home, we enjoyed good singing with guitar accompaniment, Scripture reading, and a "White Elephant" gift exchange. The gifts this year were, once again, an interesting assortment of household items (in other words, junk) to wedding figurines, and even a singing pig! Yes, I ended up with the pig, and it sings, "I've been everywhere, man, I've been everywhere!" - the song on the motel commercials.
We enjoyed the fellowship with one another, as always! A special THANKS goes to Ed Foster and his family for entertaining all of the children at the church building while the rest of us enjoyed a children-free Christmas party for the adults. The children enjoyed pizza, games, and a movie. I know that the Fosters did not get out of there much before midnight!
By the way, it is not good white elephant protocol to leave your "gifts" around the host/hostesses' house! We have a certain guest who loves to do this every year. I think that we will schedule a party at HIS house for next year....right, Elroy??!!!

Leaving the gift behind in a sly manner is part of the fun, isn't it? Wish we could have been there to enjoy the fellowship with you all!
