Christmas Spirit: Better Late than Never!

I've had THE hardest time getting into the Christmas spirit this year. My schedule is so crazy that I've been completely behind on every part of Christmas. (Which is, you know, LESS than a week away now.)

Anyway, last Thursday evening, the station staff was invited to the Taylor University Christmas party. A vanload of us went down early to take a tour of campus. I'd not been through campus since my best friend was a student there (just a few years ago...we'll not say how many).

Dinner was GOOD. Oh my goodness. Ham and potatoes, salad and rolls, shrimp cocktail, and cake (more on that later).

Here are some of my work friends. Jeri is my newest work friend. She joined us just a couple of months ago. Her office is next to mine and she's a fellow scrapper. Amy and I eat lunch together almost every day and she puts up with the ridiculousness of my stories. (Someone give that girl a medal!) Sheryl answers phones for us during Mid-Morning and is also my lunch buddy! She's one of my prayer warriors and an amazing listener.
Amy and I were table buddies, along with a few others from the station. (Sometimes she and I are a little giggly. OOPS!!)

Um...did I mention the CAKE??????

After dinner, the president's wife spoke for a little while and someone played some Christmas carols on the piano and we ended by singing Silent Night - complete with all of us holding candles. I was worried my hair would catch on fire. (I'm not coordinated and I was sporting a lot of hair product.)

I had a good time...and I think this may have jump-started my Christmas spirit!
