"Twas the Night Before Christmas"

The first Christmas Party of the season is always the toughest as the spirit just isn't there. It takes a little snow and a little cold, a bit of seasonal music and some eggnog, emphasis on eggnog. That was not the case today with mild temps nearing the 50's and no snow whatsoever. Eggnog was not on the menu and blues could only be found on the music selection.

The 48 fired up like it ran yesterday, shook off some dust that it accumulated, then went HO HO HO all the way to the Road Scholars Christmas Party. A bit chilly, soothed only by the warmth of the chili and the hearts of good people who attended.

Good People + Good Food equal only one thing, a Good Time. That was the fact that everybody realized before they left. A Chinese Auction and the people attending only made it better. From the Farting Santa to the Garage Buddies made from old engine parts, the time for a Christmas Party was today and being around friends made it better.
