Ornament Party

Category: Other Stuff | Posted: Sun Dec 10, 2006 3:14 am

I had a good time at party last night. The attendance was very low this year, only six ladies showed, I think it was because of the cold weather. But we partied anyway. Everyone brings a wrapped Christmas ornament, we sit in a circle. A story is read consisting of the words left and right heavily scattered throughout. The ornaments are then passed accordingly. At the end of the story you should end up with a package that is not your own. The lady who reads the story is the daughter-in-law of the hostess. She has a very heavy Cajun accent and her story is about Santa not being able to deliver toys on Christmas eve so he calls on Pierre Boudreaux to get the job done. It is fun and of course you end up with a new ornament for the tree. This year mine was a boxed set of four ornaments. They are gold and red with a holly leaf design on them and are teardrop shaped. Very pretty. And, being a true Baptist occasion, there is always good food to eat.

The left / right idea is fun. Is it possible that you could end up with your own ornament again?

Yes Frank, it is possible, but then she adds a part to the story. The object is not to end up with your own.

Glenda, I will try to find a copy of the original story, about Mr. and Mrs. Right. The Cajun version is one she made up I think.
