You really have to experience it to truly appreciate a
Williams Family Christmas Party.
I'm quite sure there is NOTHING quite like
it anywhere. It's really impossible to
fully explain so....these are a few of the
things I love about it (in no particular order of
preference).
1. When the Matriarchs get together to compare notes.
Billie and JB have been in-laws for 36+ years and they
fall easily back into conversation like no time has
passed at all.
2. When we all get to share some food and some laughs.
3. When the generations overlap and find common ground.
4. When people are randomly late and nobody makes
them feel bad about it...they are just glad they are there.
5. The fact that everybody tries to make it
special for the kids.
6. When cousins that rarely see each other
come together and build bonds.
7. All the team work that goes into making it happen.
(Love these girls!!)
8. When we all sing Christmas carols together.
9. The MOST unique part of our party....
the Queen's Storyteller!!
Lee continues to amaze us...he will never
know what a HUGE impact he has on all the
little ones. They can't wait for this part of the evening.
11. How the kids are absolutely enthralled with his
performance and his story!
Even this VERY tired Mom fully enjoyed the story.
12. And of course, the Nativity....or the Baby Jesus
Concert (as Jude calls it).
Amazing performance this year by Jude and Minie
in the starring roles.
Love the wandering shepherd (Poppy) and roving
angel (Greta), too.
I'm sure there are some really good family Christmas Parties out
there, but the Williams family party is the BEST!!
Thanks to all of you who make this evening so
wonderful for everyone concerned.
Jealous.....
