We went to a Christmas party yesterday, and surprisingly it was Katie’s birthday on that day! She came too and we awarded her with birthday cards and presents, while she gave us Christmas presents! They were in a very weird shape, like it was something to do with pokey spikes!
I played with Livvy. I took her teddy-bear and she chased around laughing and trying to catch up with me and to get the teddy-bear. She’s so cute! There was little cardboard Christmas house thing too, which someone wrecked, and then whoever went in it would be squashed 😉 About an hour later, the bits of cardboard were being used as sheilds in Bulldog, so that if the Bulldog would touch the shields they weren’t actually touching us.
Carly and some helpers had set out Christmas activities on tables. And as Tilly’s so good at art, she was the one who drew the snowman in ‘Pin the Nose-Carrot on the Snowman’. There was also a cake-decorating table, this weird Christmas tinssly table, the cardboard house and this reindeer-food thing. You had to get a carrot-shaped bag and fill it up with each of the reindeer food. (They had added in sparkles, gliitter and shiny bits of paper too). Then you tied the bag up with colourful string and then you put it by your Christmas Tree/Fire-Place on Christmas Eve for Santa’s reindeer – especially Rudolph 😉
In about the middle, Santa came. (Not the real one, almost obviously – the real Santa would be demanding orders to his elves or fixing the reindeers’ harness or something). He read us a story and gave us presents. The story was called ‘The Night Before Christmas’, and it was a kind of poem-story, where it rhymed.
While all this was going on, Livvy’s mum was playing games with all the other children. After the story, I came out of Santa’s little room and joined in the games. We played Musical Snowmen (Musical Statues), Stuck in the Snow (Stuck in the Mud), Duck, Duck Snow-Goose (Duck, Duck Goose) and a lot of other games too.
We also had this cool Christmas spread for lunch, and it was TASTY-TOOS. (I have no idea how many times I’ve written ‘tasty-toos’ on my website now, CAPITAL or not, bold or not, in italics or not. I just have one idea, I guess, and that idea is that… I’ve written it a lot). Anyway, they had vegetables, dips, cake and delicious stuff, like chocolate logs, Costco cake and tasty garlic bread. (Do not read that word if you’re a vampire, please).
