Just got home from one of the best RS mid week activities ever - Christmas in July. I went with my friend Merja who absolutely understood the assignment - we were Christmas as all heck! Her in her ugly sweater and me in my Christmas pyjama top with jeans.
We absolutely would have won best dressed if there was a competiton.
We did Christmas crafts (making candy cane decorations for the tree) and had a gingerbread decorating comp. It was so funny, lots of laughter while we got to work.
Our finished product. Quite obviously the best of the evening, but alas, we did not win.
Doesn't matter when you've had that much fun making it though.
Best part of the evening though, was absolutely the Christmas Gift Game. Everyone was asked to bring along something preowned (could be new if you wanted, but something already at your house!) and wrap it ready to give. All the items went into the middle of the room and then every persons name was put into a bowl - three times. The game went along that the first time your name was picked you could choose a gift from the pile. The second time, you could choose from the pile again, or swap with someone who had unwrapped something you liked better. Oh my word, it was so hilarious to watch and some of these women were straight up ruthless! They swapped over and over, but I was very happy with what I ended up with after my second swap - a mini diffuser kit. I can't wait to try it out.
The decorations were lovely and it was such a fun night.
Merry Christmas in July everyone!
