Every December, Jason and I host a small but boisterous holiday gathering. We invite the same crowd we have for more than a decade and engage in loud and lively activities like Just Dance and a white elephant exchange. That tradition continued in 2019 with another tumultuous event.
This year, our attendees totaled sixteen, a.k.a. everyone we invited. We ate Southwestern fare with a bit of stagey flair. This included chipotle glazed chicken salad and Southwest potato & green chili soup from Café Zupas, along with churros and burritos from Sweeto Burrito. We danced, gamed, ate more beans than wisdom dictated, and posed for an assortment of ridiculous pictures. Admit it, you’ve always wanted to live out your fantasy of being one of Santa’s third-string reindeer in front of a camera. Who doesn’t love Smasher, Vomit, and Stupid?
It was a night of stuffing, laughing, and prancing. After all, no song has ever been written about having a dignified Christmas. Bring on the jolly!
