On December 15, I attended the Rose Club Christmas party at the Norseman Inn. All my friends were there. Our Committee sang the 12 Days of Christmas accompanied by a slideshow of the members throughout the year. We also played Family Feud on a big screen TV which was fun.  After supper, I had strawberry whipped cream pudding for dessert. We also had a gift exchange and I got turtle chocolates. Every year we have a dance and this year we danced the night away!!!

On December 17, Rose Club went to Bethany care home to sing Christmas carols to brighten up their holiday season. I sang the loudest, as I have the best voice lol!!

On December 19th, I attended the Centra Cam Christmas party. In the morning we had a WII bowling tournament and played “Pin the beard on the Santa”.

In the afternoon, we had another gift exchange and I received a fuzzy blanket with pom poms. We sang Christmas carols again together and ate a turkey dinner with pudding.

 

 

I started reading chapter books every night before bed this month. This time I started a  new series called the “Dork Diaries”. I like reading outload and listening to myself.

On Wednesday night, I went shopping for the Christmas party at my home. Each year we do a Christmas gift exchange with my roommates and I’m all ready! We went shopping for the groceries to bake a New York cheesecake from Anna Olsen.

I can’t wait for the new year to start as my old staff will be back helping me write my blog weekly (so stay tuned) and completing my school presentations! I hope you all have a super, fun Christmas and very Happy New Year.

This Christmas will be different. My brother Joel is going to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan with his girlfriend Ashley. So, we are celebrating Christmas late this year as a family on December 30, 2018. Both my brothers will be there with their girlfriends, my mom, dad and me. My mom will still make a turkey with all the fixings that day. But I wait and fill up on dessert!

On Christmas Eve we will be at my grandma’s in Lloydminster. I will see my aunty, uncle and cousins that I haven’t see in awhile. My favorite part of Christmas is being with family of course. But my second favorite part of Christmas is seeing people’s faces when they open gifts. I also really love decorating the tree for Christmas.

The months leading up to Christmas are always so buys as we make homemade decorations at Centra Cam and at home.  Every year Centra Cam decorates a tree for the Festival of trees where everyone helps out with the homemade decorations. The festival of trees has tons of decorated tress to see when you walk in from many groups/organizations. They are all so different and its fun to try and figure out what group decorated it. The Festival of Trees also has lots of tables of things for sale and you can do some Christmas shopping while there.

The weekend of the festival of Tress was busy for me as I also went to a bowling tournament in Vegreville. We met a bus at McDonald’s before heading out. There was a banquet at the Vegreville senior citizens’ Sunshine club after the tournament with Christmas themed food, and I had a piece of pumpkin pie. While I was there, my Singables community choir performed on the stage at the Festival of Trees which I missed. However my roommate was there and got to sing on stage.

I am looking foreword to the holidays season and going to some Christmas parties at work, home, with my family  and with Rose Club.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
