Oh, the weather outside was frightful, but inside was sooo delightful! As we all braved the strong winds and freezing cold early December night, we looked forward to gathering with our Plum Pretty friends for our annual Christmas party.
We were greeted at Station 885 in Plymouth by our beautiful hostesses Lady Songbird Barb, and Lady Bookworm Marty. The room was beautiful (and warm!) and the atmosphere was warm and inviting. At each place, there was a lovely gift bag filled with wonderful Christmas goodies, compliments of our hostesses for the evening.
As we started to gather in, the places were soon filled with a multitude of generous gifts from differing members of the Chapter. It was so thoughtful of them to remember us all, and the gifts were as individual and unique as our members themselves.
Music soon came into play in the form of some really very funny re-written Christmas songs.
Our hostesses had done their work! The songs were so much fun to sing. Perhaps the most memorable rendition of "The Twelve Days Of Christmas" starred our very own lilting lovely, her majesty Queen Carolyn herself. With her holiday hat (partridge included) perched precariously on her royal head, she led, and ended, the song with the very first day of Christmas gift. It was beautifully done, and in great sports-woman ship style, as we have come to expect from her. And, let us not forget Lady Globetrotter Lois' exuberant "fi-i-i-i-i-ve
gold rings"! Way to go ladies!
Our food was absolutely delicious, challenged only by the fun and camaraderie that filled to overflowing our little corner of the historic restaurant.
As the evening sadly drew to a close, we once again braced ourselves to face the brutal, chilling winds of the great outdoors. But, the trip home was a little easier to bear because our hearts had been filled with the warmth provided by spending time with good friends, and surrounding ourselves with song, laughter, and joy. All so very good for the soul.
Lady Songbird and Lady Bookworm certainly outdid themselves! Personally, I cast my ballot for them to take charge of this annual event again next year. All in favor? There, the "Aye's" have it!
Thank you ladies for your hard work. On behalf of all of the Plum Pretties, may I offer our sincere thanks and appreciation for a wonderful Christmas party.
Merry Christmas to all my friends, and may you be blessed with the spirit of the holiday all year through.
I'll see you in the new year!
Your most humble word servant,
Lady Hatter Chatter Brenda
