Christmas Celebration

We again thank Lori for hosting our Christmas celebration. We were so happy to have Lucia back with us for this night.

We started, of course, with food. Each member brought an appetizer or dessert to share, and everything was delicious. Then Kelly distributed the photo books she made on Shutterfly of our 5th year anniversary celebrated in Mt. Gretna. It turned out great! Thanks to Kelly and all of the photographers who contributed pictures. Carol W. announced that we will be adding a new member to our book club in January - another neighbor :-).

Judy created the game we played, called "How well do I know the Lit-Wits members after 5 years?" We had to identify members by clues which we had provided Judy a few weeks prior to the party. The game turned out to be so difficult that some of us didn't even remember our own trivia! Carol M. was the winner. We plan to do another similar type of trivia game in the future.

Next came our book exchange. They were wrapped to reflect their title or subject. Pat D. took honors in the wrapping category for her efforts in knitting a cover for her book. All of the titles looked interesting and are sure to make it back to our book bag for sharing.

The book discussion was short and sweet. We had all read The Christmas Train by David Baldacci, and we were all disappointed. It seemed too contrived, and the ending was weird. No vote needed!
