Christmas Day

As mentioned in our Dec 24^th post, we attended the Christmas Day Pot Luck and Gift Exchange today as always it was fun and the food was fantastic. We spent time visiting before dinner was served, after dinner participated in Carol singing and last but surely not least the gift exchange.

Right, Roger and Judy, new friends this year, we were so happy to see them as they have down and out with the flu for weeks.







Left Jane opening her gift, a very good adult beverage, which she later lost when someone stole it but at the end of the exchange she ended up with it.









The gift I opened was a cookie can filled with various sizes of batteries, what a clever gift, I lost it before Woody could get a picture!












Woody opened this awesome screw driver set which no one stole, we were surprised but happy to take it home!










Right, Bonnie has a gel seat cover for a bike, which has circulated for 2 years now. She traded it off and eventually the seat ended up with Jen who really wanted it, so guess it won't reappear next year!


After the gift exchange came the "Awards", the park has a contest for decorated sites and some winter residents do a fantastic job decorating their sites. We do put up a few outdoor lights, some bows and garland and received along with other folks in the park a "Participation Award" which we thought was awesome.

Below park Managers are recognizing and thanking the Camp Workers, Volunteers and our Activity Directors, these folks deserve thanks for sure, they all do an awesome job!



























Donna surprised us and other friends of she and Pooch with wine glasses that she hand painted with a hand made dish cloth tucked inside, what an awesome gift. Donna and Pooch's daughter (Shannon) and family came down to the park from Illinois this year to spend Christmas here and became part of our swim group, Shanon gave every one in the swim group a hand made little Christmas towel, so very thoughtful, thank you both!




Last I thought I would add a couple of pics of our humble Christmas Tree. We so enjoyed our Christmas Day with friends at our Winter home!
Happy New Year all!
