We didn't get to singing carols until really late into the evening, and I was quite taken aback by how easy it was to sing along to The Dysfunctional Family Christmas Songbook that JN brought.
OM came in from Grand Rapids for the evening, and I showed her book to everyone so lots of people put it on their TBRs. Her rum balls were really boozy, and after everyone left, we could barely move and curled up with hot cocoa for a long, no-holds-barred chat.
I'm looking forward to the extra minutes of light and brightness as the earth hinges into solstice...

I’m adding that book to my TBR! That is so cool that you know the author! The party sounded so fun! I haven’t been to a holiday party in so long besides the Christmas Eve party we go to at my husband’s cousin’s house which is the highlight of our holiday each year. This family’s kids are all post college so they are so enamored with our young kids and dote on them which means Phil and I can socialize and not pay super close attention to the boys since they get plenty of attention from others (but obv make sure they are behaving!!).
Enjoy
I love, love reading about the creative ways you host! Your Diwali festivities sounded wonderful! This party also sounds like it was cozy and festive! (Mini-massages?!?? Wow!!! :))
What a gift to your community that use your gorgeous space for connection and love!
Merry everything, dear Maya!

That's a cushy position to be in for the boys and for you and Phil... and for the older cousins... wins all around!
Thank you, Gillian!
Thank you, dear Steph! Merry everything and a Happy 2025 to you!
(I forgot to take photos, so I will try to do a more detailed take when I get some guest photos back...)
I'm afraid if I were at that party I might blow off the adults and hang with the puppies and babies. Not that I dislike adults, but DOGS and BABIES!
Babies PLAYING WITH DOGGIES!!
