Two of our friends who had moved to Tennessee over a decade ago showed up. They were told about the party by someone who was coming and they came on over too. This just happened to be the weekend they were visiting their family. Great tinmg, eh? It was so great to see them. They only come home a couple times a year and we don’t always get together.
Another loved friend showed up that we didn’t expect. She is someone I miss dearly and never get enough opportunities to hang with. We never heard from her and just assumed she wasn’t coming. Shows what we knew. It was a Festivus miracle!
So I had a house full of everyone who has ever meant something to me. Imagine that. The best part of having such a big crowd is that there is never a moment where your conversation gets tired. You are talking with someone and then someone else joins in or someone else will distract you and so on. The conversations may last 5 minutes but they never end. That’s a great thing for someone like me who gets so easily distracted and/or bored quickly. The evening never gets stale.
I didn’t get a lot of pictures. Truthfully, I got a couple before the party started then forgot about the cameras. There were 2 cameras out for pictures and none were taken. Oh well. I have uploaded a few from earlier last night but that’s all there is.
All in all, it was a great night. The party was a huge success. Only the fact that Peachy and Spacebrain didn’t show sucked. But I guess they had better things to do. Too bad. That would have made the evening as close to perfect as it could be.

This is one view of the living room with the tree and the fireplace.
Here is my favorite decoration. The weird little fiber optic tree with Looney Tunes characters on it. I just posted it because everyone got a kick out of it last year, especially Cat. It's still just as awesome as ever.
Here is the guest of honor. Bugs with his Santa attire. Yeah, he's cool.
