Christmas Festivities Galore!

Last Friday, Rich invited his employees to our home for a Christmas party. We had a lovely catered dinner with mostly Chinese food. Rich planned several fun games where he was able to give away lots of prizes. "Lucky Draws" are always a part of Chinese parties and celebrations and almost everyone went home with a prize that night. The grand prize was a weekend stay package at a very nice local hotel. The highlight of the evening was when Rich read the Christmas story from the Gospels. Included in the gift he gave each person was a book in Chinese about the Miracle of Christmas. If they didn't know what Christmas was about before, they sure do now!Last Thursday, Stacia and Lucas hosted a Christmas party for 20 of their closest friends from school. They were all in a party mood as semester exams had just ended for the week. The party included LOTS of food contributed by all, a white elephant gift exchange with lots of stealing going on, cookie decorating, ping pong and a Christmas movie. It was a great way to begin the Christmas season before most of the kids took off to their various travel destinations.
