We had a Christmas Party and book group meeting on December 13th. There were 9 of approximately 11 regular members who were able to make it on that day. The more members we have the harder it is to select a date that meets everyone's schedule. We are so sorry the members who were not able to come couldn't. The book was A Christmas Carole by Charles Dickens and was held at my house this time and I was able to lead the discussion.
The food was very good including: Parmesan Chicken(me), lasagna(Stef), shrimp(Kris) great salad(Korie), bread(Kris), Cheesecake(Angie) and Costco cake(Lorraine), eclairs(PeggyAnn).
We had a good discussion with a few questions I found online. And afterwards we had a favorite things gift exchange. It is always fun to see what everyone likes. Some of the favorite things that I remember were some Swedish dish clothes, a pirate cutting board with peg leg knife(Peg Leg Craig), products from Bath and Body Work, homemade soap and tissue box, Pizza House gift card, Foot warming booties. I'll add some more when I wrack my brain a little, to remember.
We watched the movie A Christmas Carole, the Jim Carey version. The group didn't like it as well as other versions. We also considered watching, The Man Who Invented Christmas.
Our next book selection will be The Arabian Nights. The discussion is set for January 2025.
