16 December, 2006 - We had a blast at our 2nd annual White-Witch-Defying Christmas party last night. We tried to do things as much like the Brits as possible, so we started out with crackers (that's where all the funny hats come from in our pictures), had turkey & dressing and such, and ended with loads of deserts that included mincemeat pie and plum pudding. We also played around with a snapdragon. That was fun! After eating, we read portions of Lewis to each other and then sang Christmas carols.
