Holly Jolly Christmas Party

Well here it is again. The annual Christmas fete. Almost the same as the one last year with additional guests ( including my Lushes! ), a green / gold theme and of course this year I had Charming Calvin along to celebrate.

Rather than sweat it out with the barbecue as we did last year ( and risk a fire! ), we decided to take it easy with a turkey and duck to feed the masses. Well that is until my mother decided to lend a hand. Even roped in a few of my early bird guests to help with the arrangement. Evidently my mother subscribes to the notion that not a single guest can leave the table without being filled to the absolute brim - and the table must still have dishes left to spare.

So yeah, food we had aplenty.

Which was fortunate since we had some unexpected guests who came from afar :) From new friends such as Neonatal Nate and my new gerbil to old buddies like the Fable Frog who enthusiastically hopped on over from his side of the pond. At practically five to midnight!

Obviously lost his way following the star of Bethlehem.

Life
Bacardi and a boy! The perfect gifts for Christmas!

Of course the one guest I could depend on was our reliable Jaunty Jared - gotta give him tons of credit after all. Folks, please invite him to your parties! A true renaissance man - not only can he look pretty in his peculiar gaga pants ( skirt? pants? skort? kilt? ) while he plays the gay cater-waiter, he can also take on the role of the extra manny babysitting the riotous rugrats who threatened to bring down the tree.

Not everything was that wholesome PG-13 tame of course. Since it is Christmas time - and you have a gaggle of gay men together, the usual scandalous drama ensues. Breakups and betrayals, greets and gropes. Even a brief episode of body heat transfer in the study.

And yes, the same shameless faces turning red with alcohol. After all it's hard to say no to the inebriated collective known as Janvier - who kept everyone happily sloshed with drinks.

We got to practise making cough syrup too! If Jared didn't find that Peppermint syrup you'd all not need to be our patients.
