Christmas Eve 2010

We were invited to our friends in Mission (Rob and Sharon Renner) for an intimate Christmas Eve dinner with 36 other people.  The dinner was held OUTDOORS with the temps in the high 70's.  Sharon provided the turkey and ham and everyone brought a dish to pass.

Rob had a beautiful picture of a crackling fire going on his TV.

We played "Dirty Santa."  This is a game where everyone takes a turn picking a gift.  The person opens the gift so everyone can see it.  If someone does not like their gift, they can exchange with someone else.  The bad part is if you really liked your gift, you stand a chance on losing it.

Rob's gift was a box of canned foods.  Lucky for Rob, no one else wanted to exchange with him.  He was stuck with canned sardines among other things.  The gifts were divided for men and women. The most popular man's gift was a gift certificate to Lowe's and that exchanged hands about 4 times.

Rob just took motorcycle driving lessons from Harley Davidson so his daughter sent him Santa on a motorcycle.
