Everyone looks oddly solemn, under the space-ship like lighting! But yes, there was festive food, and Adult Beverages, and table decorations, and Christmassy music. I've just given a speech about Barb - who is retiring in a couple of weeks from her position as Office Manager - and I guess they're waiting to see what's in her large box. Answer - it's an iridescent glazed glass vase, with a snowdrop design (she's a glass person, making it herself with a kiln - so we also gave her a gift certificate for a glass supply company). It's quite amazing to think that she first set foot on the USC campus in 1952, as a 17 year old. I really wish that I'd taken a picture of her Christmas Necklace - I'll miss seeing those red and green twinkly lights every year ... the space between December and December is just long enough, annually, for me to forget about them ...
