Christmas Banquet 2006

Saturday night was our church's annual Christmas banquet and guess what? The Banquet Babe is back! (The Banquet Babe's beginnings here, and the subsequent proof here.) Geez, I can't believe it's been a year already since her last appearance. Anyway . . .

The Pics


Catherine and me!




Me and Maurice (baby bro)!



Me and the Christmas tree!

Bonus Features
My dad was the MC/joke-teller of the night, and he gave us a couple of "quotes to think about." Here's a pretty funny one:

"I was going to buy a copy of The Power of Positive Thinking, and then I thought: What good would that do?" -- Ronnie Shakes

But here's the one that had me rollin'. My laugh is very boisterous when something is downright hilarious and I sort of embarrassed myself after he said this one:

"I know that there are people in this world who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that!" -- Tom Lehrer

It was just so . . . oxymoronically amusing. Ah, well. I ate good food, had good laughs and simply had a good time. That's a wrap!

It sounds like your dad and my husband would get along quite well!! My husband can come up with a one-liner for just about any situation, and he loves to pull "word pranks" on people.

I've enjoyed reading your posts. I just slid over here from 90&9.

God bless you!

Chantelle! I am the "entertainment", usually, at our church's Christmas banquets, too, just like your dad. I am going to steal his two lines! *smile* I've been getting my material together over the past days and weeks, so thanks for the additions. I loooove oxymoronic humor, too! Hope you're have a wonderful Christmas season!! ((HUGS)) Oh, and you look beautiful in the banquet pics! *wink*

Jewel, that's great! I'm going to tell my Dad that he's inspired others through my blog. LOL.

Thank you so much for your compliments, and I hope you have a wonderful Christmas too! :-)
