A wonderful Christmas dinner with friends and family…thank you Richard!

Richard made it all happen for us so the rest of us could relax.  I've never had a more hassle free Christmas dinner I've hosted….thank you, thank you, thank you, Richard!

Good food,  good friends,  great time was had by all.

Christmas crackers are completely unknown in the US…a British tradition obviously.  Richard brought them down with him from Canada.  Everyone got into the spirit.

 Erna wearing her hat and doing the charade…these ones were quite "serious" ….having a skill testing question and a charade.  Usually they just have corny jokes.

 Susan,  wondering whether she really has to put on her hat.

 Dick gave up quickly and just did it.

 Hat on for Susan….Marvin figuring out the his yo yo prize.  He got it going!


 Of course,  the "empty table photo"…wouldn't be Christmas without it.

 The gang's all here except Richard (and the photographer) slaving away doing the last minute rush that Christmas dinners all require…good on you,  Richard!
