What a Holiday

This holiday has been among the most fabulous and meaningful EVER for me. All week has been a series of celebrations -- all right up my alley. Thank you to SF you know who peeps for a kick ass party (no acronym included to protect the innocent). Thank you to everyone who came to our fifth Christmas Eve Eve (CEE) party. And thanks to K&M for opening their home to the Yum Yum for an extraORDINARY Christmas Day.

Burp.


And here's a photo of one of Van's gifts to me / us. Beautiful watches to go with our rings. (You can also see the sleeve of the new robe he gave me....blue!)

Meantime, here are photos from the Christmas Eve Eve party. Christmas Day (today) photos to come ... tomorrow.

Karl (of Oahu, Oakland, Oahu, Oakland, Oahu, Oakland consulting fame) starts the evening with finger food and wine. Yum.


Michelle (speaker extraordinaire, NPO program director, and of K&M fame) and Janet (ED of that big place that has to do with foundations and of Janet and David fame but no photos of David available!) talk about all things nonprofit, we're sure. More than half the crowd was of nonprofit ilk (if you include universities).

Nikkol (pharma sales gal who is looking, any hot men out there?) and Haleh (author and professor extraordinaire) pose for the camera.

Nick (of certain Congressman fame) celebrates by wrapping Christmas ornaments around his neck.

Patricia (of arts fame in SF), Van, and Nick (Patricia's son, SF-that-place-where-I-work alum and international NYU student) pose mid swig.

Englishman Travis (of last minute I-ran-out-of-wrapping-turned-hit-gift-of-the-night fame) can't find a seat in the house.

The Ring Leader leads White Elephant Bingo -- much better this year than last with the last-minute-find-and-purchase (thank you Ross of all places) of a "Deluxe" Bingo game.

V&J wrap up the night with a hug from Susan-who-doesn't-have-her-eyes-closed-in-this-photo fame!

Merry Christmas to all!
