Well, we had a great Christmas party. A lot of people showed up. Between the street neighbors, Ed's work friends, my work friends, and general friends it was a fun mix of people. A lot of people brought re-gifts (you know nice things they had which they traded for someone else's nice things).
Gary and Laraunt brought the worst re-gift. They brought a ToFurkey. Yes, a boxed tofu - turkey dinner for the holidays. It was gross. It went from their hands to the fridge to the trash in short order. Other people, thankfully, brought nicer re-gifts.
Even street negihbors that don't get along generally got along very well. It was good.
FYI - the Christmas Palm was a hit!
