Festivus was a success! We didn't do much planning. Just put up a pole and had a few pals over for PB & J sandwiches. One of our friends brought a pot of chili and stuff to make virgin margaritas and daquiris. We played karaoke games on the XBox and watched the episode of Seinfeld that made Festivus popular. We unintentionally skipped over the "Airing of Grievances"....I guess we were busy having too much fun. DH did get wrestled to the ground in the "Feats of Strength" by his pregnant wife and 2 other people at the night's end.



A pic of our Festivus Pole.....tainted by a scary snowman sent to me by my grandma. DH likes to scare our dog by chasing her around with its loud creepy music and glowing eyes. The blurry puff-ball behind the pole is our friend's dog, who joined us for the Festivus festivities.



Our dog thinks she's a person.



The dogs dance merrily around yon Festivus Pole, which ultimately ends in a ritualistic butt-sniffing.



The Pole.


DH bought one of those Jones Soda holiday gift sets. We each had our own tea cup to sample each flavor one "course" at a time. They were all pretty nasty. Especially the green pea flavored soda. The antacid flavored soda wasn't so bad, though.



Our friends received a gift set at an office party that included margarita and daquiri fixins. They don't drink, and neither do we....so we all decided to get totally wasted on sugar. I was so hung over the next day.


This is what happens when I take a pic in the dark and then try to fix it later. (Have I ever mentioned that I HATE using a flash and will avoid it at all costs?) Here are our pals laughing at eachother's karaoke attempts.

We're going over to our friends' house today to feast on quail. I've never had quail.
