Christmas at Christy's - November 17, 2015

"This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone." ~ Taylor Caldwell ~

On Thursday, December 17th, the Women Who Wine attended a wonderful luncheon at Christy's Christmas house. Apparently Christy got PLENTY of exercise during the month of December. Nearly every inch of her house is decorated to the nines!

After lunching and wining, there was a Trivia Contest (so hard!).  Debbie won the Christmas Trivia contest - 7 correct answers out of 12. What a smartie!  Carole won a prize for guessing when Christy first started decorating her first apartment for Christmas - 1971. Ancient history!  Daryl won the Ugly Christmas Sweater contest.  She had it all sewn up with NO competition!

After announcing the winners and distributing prizes, the WWW ladies had presents to distribute to each other. So many cute and clever gifts!

Thank you all for your friendship!

Away in a Manger...Stables That Is! December 4, 2015


On December 4th the Women Who Wine met at the clubhouse at 3:15 to be chauffeured to Stables restaurant for a fun Christmas dinner and gift exchange. Debbie, our host for the event, handed out adult beverages in sippy cups for the ride down. En route, delightful Christmas music was played. During the ride back, the Christmas music was decidedly more raucous!

At Stables, the ladies exchanged a “homemade edible gift,” partook of holiday spirits and dined on local cuisine in front of a roaring fireplace. Debbie led us in a gift exchange game that was delightful and only slightly confusing but we managed to figure it out!

According to Nicolas Fradet, Conversion Optimization Consultant to Fortune 500,  hand-rubbing indicates anticipation or relishing something to come. Carole and Connie can hardly wait!
Beep, beep! Don't back up Vicky, Daryl's got your back!
