Today, we got together with Adam's extended family for our annual Christmas party. The kids all had a great time running around and opening presents and eating and playing this completely bizarre game that involved them accusing adults of committing crimes. (I wasn't paying much attention, but I know there were people taken into custody and at least once jailbreak.) And the adults, of course, took part in the annual white (Wight?) elephant gift exchange, which produced a host of potential regiftables, including a totally sketch apron and a high-heeled tape dispenser.
There's something so magical about getting together with a huge group of important people to have a party. The meal, the decorations, the festive feel, the conversation, the food... it all adds so much to the experience of the season. We're called to be thankful for all we have, and it's easy to feel a sense of gratitude when surrounded by great people.
