Christmas Luncheon

Single Sisters and Friends had our first Christmas Luncheon
 at the Community House in Kernersville. 
The quaint house which was decorated for Christmas was a lovely
backdrop for some of the table decorators shown below:
-----------------------------------------------------------
 
Sue Giachero set a beautiful table featuring Lenox dinnerware
on red chargers surrounding a centerpiece of Christmas greenery
in sparkling white ice skates.



-----------------------------------------------------------------
 
Robin Beck delighted her table guests with snow people surrounded
by frosty snowflakes and dinnerware featuring snow people as well.
Each table guest was thrilled with the handmade snowmen they
took home!

 
------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
Shellie Watkins set a festive table with red dinnerware on white
chargers and jewel-edged snowflakes surrounding a snowman in
his own top hat. Crisp red and white linens and fine stemware
completed the design.

Michelle Morris put smiles on her table guests with a delightful
snowman centerpiece surrounded by sparkling snow. 
Happy snowmen on Christmas red plates along with red and white
linens put everyone in a real festive mood.



Three large tables were covered with delicious food and as soon as we
settled down after our meal, Penny Prater blessed every heart with
songs of Christmas.  We were even honored to hear a duet from Penny
and Dan Baker and we joined them to sing "Silent Night". 
Following the music, Dan spoke to us, reminding us of the blessings
of Christmas and as always, he spoke from his heart and touched ours.





 
As soon as our appetites were satisfied and our souls filled to
overflowing, you surely know the "sisters" had some giggles up
our sleeves.  Each lady brought a "unique" gift from the local dollar
stores.  During the gift exchange, there were sounds of laughter filling
 every inch of the Community House.  Take a look:
Diane Bennett has a new fan with flashing lights to add to her fan collection.
Looks like Frankie Pearson is happy with her red antlers.

Beth Lilley seems to like her "brain puzzle".
Diane Watson received a thigh master!

Judy McManus seemed to like her new Christmas glasses.
Hope she wears them to work!

Donna Waters took home the "Jesus is boss" winter cap!

 
Lots of sisters made it all happen.  Pamella Loy designed and made
the name tags, Joni Risch was our greeter, Carole Batten took care of
all the stockings collected for the nursing home and the gift exchange,
Joanna Meredith manned the food table and Judy Chance was
Kitchen Chief.  Special thanks to Carole and Rick Batten who
delivered the round tables to the luncheon and then
returned them as well.  The tables added a special touch.
Dan Baker washed dishes for a long time before he left
us for other activities...wish I had taken his picture!
Thank you all!
 
All in all, we had a delightful lunch that made us feel
special, blessed and the daughters of the King that we are. 
Does it get any better than that?
