Tree Trimming Party
I had my second annual* tree trimming party last night. It went down well. In return for me providing food and drink, I had, by my count, at least 23 people (I'm sure I've forgotten some) who came to hang the decorations on my tree.
Thanks to Julia for finding the tree for me. I prepared it on Sunday by putting it into the stand and putting the string of 220 lights on the tree. With them on first the number doesn't overpower the decorations.
The punch went down well. I like to provide a non-alcoholic punch. Matt said that sounded like a challenge but learned that if anyone ever spikes my punch they'll never be invited back. It was a simple punch, and probably needs something extra, but it was a frozen ring of berries floating in a mixture of ginger ale, soda water, and soda with a twist of lemon. A bit of pineapple juice also got thrown in, after I cored a pineapple for the chocolate dips.
*I did it last year, that makes it an annual event, right?
