fab

i through a fabulous holiday party last night. it really was fantastic.
music:
bing crosby and the andrews sisters
ella wishes you a swingin christmas
charlie brown christmas
and other 30's and 40's christmas music

food and drink:
mason's fabulous sausage cheese dip
shrimp ceviche
homemade brownie cookies
holiday punch w/ beautiful frozen cranberry juice w/ cranberries and orange slices (mason's idea)
eggnog
blue moon, killians, rolling rock, and red wine

i must admit that the entire root for this party came from the need to make mason's sausage cheese dip. it's true. i had to incorporate this into my life somehow. about 20-22 people showed up and everyone got wasted. i've discovered that getting people drunk very quickly is the key to having a successful party, and also supplying tasty food. i had every holiday candle that was given to me at work lit one hour before the party was slated to begin. it smelled like... christmas. of course i had on my christmas colors: pale green shirt from banana, black pants, red flats.
apparently i've been labeled as the martha stewart of our group, if you can call it a group. i call it savannah where it's small and everybody knows eachother through somebody. the martha stewart thing makes me kinda' happy. i felt so grown up throwing a holiday party. i've done the new years a few times, st. patricks day, and birthdays, but never a holiday party. i might have to do it again next year.
