Parties, Cocktails, and Bendy Bob (The miraculous eleventh post)

This Christmas season has drawn to a close and it has been a lovely one. There have been plenty of parties, good food, and ample opportunity to spend time with friends and family. For example two days after Christmas both my Uncle Steven and my Uncle David and their families shared Christmas dinner with us. As you can imagine it did feel a little crowded. However, everyone was in good humour and it was good to spend time with family. It was also good to spend time with my Uncle Steven's Play Station 3.
Another party of note was my friend Beth's Christmas party. After managing to secure a lift to Appleby, thanks to some great friends at church I arrived at her house and was immediately mugged by her dog. This was lovely, as I had missed being mugged by my own dogs after moving over to England. The party itself was quite a bit of fun, and mainly consisted of me being told to dance, and then people regretting telling me to dance. It was great spending time with friends, and building closer ties to friends I had not had the opportunity to spend as much time with.
On to party number two: the Green's Christmas party. While a different style of party all together from Beth's party this was also rather enjoyable. After walking in the door I was handed a cocktail and told to eat lot's of food. I did eat lots of food, and then played some dice games (I didn't do very well) and talked video-games. About half way through the party a game of trivial pursuit was began. Only half way through the game did I realize that I was playing with quite a few students from either Oxford or Cambridge University.

Bendy Bob

Finally, party three the church New Year party. I very much enjoyed this party also. One highlight was winning "The Best of British Quiz". Very rarely do I win quizzes, so being on the winning team for this quiz was rather enjoyable. Another highlight was Bendy Bob ) a very important aspect of "The Big Taboo". I clung on to Bendy Bob for most of the game, and was very loathed to hand him over to other people. My fears were well founded when someone took Bendy Bob, beat him and threw him to the ground. You know who you are! However, no permanent harm was done, and a good night was had by all.
