Thursday night my ward had their Christmas party. In the 4 years or whatever that I have been in the ward, I had never had a party quite like this one. You can tell they wanted to budget, but it was a really cute idea and I think everyone had a great time. It was "A Night in Bethlehem". They started by giving everyone gold coins so they could purchase food at the different stores. Each table was different food or drinks. It was set up really cute.
Then after you were done eating, if you had left over coins, you could purchase a dreidel!
Everyone was supposed to bring their own blankets to sit on. After dinner, we had a nice Christmas program. The program started off with my friend Wes and yours truly singing "Baby Its Cold Outside". I was going to post us singing it, because I did record it.... but.... well, I'm just going to be honest with you, Wes got up their and froze. Therefore there were a lot of chuckles from us both and lack of words sung. I have watched it a couple more times, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was when I was up there, but our rehearsals were A LOT better. I do love singing with Wes, we blend really well together. He is my favorite person to sit by in church for that reason, we harmonize together. Its fun. Anyway.... it was a great party and a good turn out and a nice program. I sat next to my BFF neighbor (although not so BFF lately... but that night made up for our lack of heart to hearts lately) Darrell. He is so much fun.

My branch does a night in bethlehem every year. They generally have a live baby jesus which is kind of cool, and people dress up in bath robes etc.
I love Bethlehem nights. Baby it's Cold Outside doesn't seem to fit with the theme, but whatever. It's Christmas!
Yeah... we didn't know the theme until after we signed up to sing that song.
