Annual Christmas Party - 2012

Nice buffet!

     Our joint annual Christmas Party with the Concord Family History Center was very successful last night.  The evening started off with meet & greet during which time appetizers were served.  Dinner was potluck and everyone brought delicious food.

    After dinner we had wonderful entertainment and games.  We sang five favorite Christmas Carols.  The game included guessing the name of the carol (that had been renamed) and then we sang that carol.  Jim Gillespie from FHC led the singing and he has a wonderful booming voice.

Singing

    Between songs, we had two readings: "The Elusive Ancestor" and "Grandma Climbed the Family Tree."  They were very humorous!  The closing song was "A Dozen Intervals of Light Between Sunlight and Dark Commemorating the Annual Festival of the Birth of Jesus" which was really "The 12 Days of Christmas" that was sang by tables. All were having a great time participating.

   Besides the great food and entertainment, members brought toys for the Toys For Tots program and food for the Contra Costa Solano County Food Bank.

   The Christmas Party committee did a fantastic job.  Thank you very much.  Next year the party will be hosted by the Concord Family History Center.
