The Gang's Christmas Party!

It was two weeks before Christmas...that friends gathered together to share a good meal, a good laugh, a good time. On Friday 11th, we had "The Gangs' Christmas Party", it was such a fun time. The food was great (potluck) and there was so much variety: Pozole, Wheat Pozole, Baby back Ribs in spicy tomato sauce, Lasagna, Spanish rice, Mashed Potatoes, Fried Chicken, Broccoli and Chicken salad, lots of chips, Champurrado and Sodas. That was just dinner, we still had desserts in abundance, sooooo yummy. Good conversation is always part of our parties and this time was not the exception. Later at night, we did a little Christmas program and every family participated. Angie played some Christmas songs on the keyboard and then we all sang a song. Then the others did the same thing, we all sang songs from the hymnbook and at the end the Islas family delighted every one with a special number where they reminded us of why Christmas is so important and why it should be the center of our festivities. They were all dressed in costumes and Marbella posing as Mary sang a lullaby to baby Jesus. After that, we all played games together and, like Cinderella, left for home after midnight. It was such a special night, truly a night to remember. I am so thankful for this season, for my Savior, and for my family and friends. There is nothing like celebrating Christmas with those you love.
