I just found this comment (looking through WP to find out why I have 10 comments I have never answered – where are they??). For some reason everyone had a good time. I thought it was an okay party, but lots of people had a fit about how much fun they had – maybe it was the food, booze, gambling (I gave everyone scratchers), my giant Christmas tree or perhaps it was the offensive Christmas lights in my yard. I think it was the guests – different and fun friends and family. Would have been magic if you were here, but you can’t leave those beautiful goats!
Hi Ho,

I love how the doll is wearing a military chevron on her jacket sleeve.
Maybe she has military roots! I have that big obnoxious party tomorrow – good luck to me!

50 people to please! I know you’ll be great! Have fun.

Hi Ho,

Sounds like a fantastic time! Sometimes that happens when just the right things align. Sounds like you really set the tone for a happy evening.
Gambling on scratchers is a good ice breaker!
Lovely colors and a great use of light, I think. But the girl and the doll both seem bored. With each other or just life in general?
I think it is the general “lost in thought” attitude of the times!
Elephant
They both look like dolls! Is the doll playing with a doll?
Yes. Sometimes it is the plastic with the plastic!
