Friend's Holiday Dinner 2005

A couple of years ago I decided to start a tradition of having a holiday dinner at my house for the friends. During the holiday season everyone is usually out running around or hanging out with family so I thought it would be nice if we could take an evening and spend it together around a table with good food and drink. Well this year was no exception. Some of the old group have gone their separate ways and some have moved away but those of us who are left decided not to let that get us down. We recruited some new friends and I must say this years dinner was the best so far. We decorated the house, mom (yes, she is family but still considered a friend!) cooked up some dead beast, everyone brought a dish and we all sat around and filled our little (ok, maybe not so little) tummies with Christmas joy. Everything was yummy and during dinner conversation we even had The Grinch playing on the bigscreen. After we ate, we cleared the table and with the exception of a couple lazy butts, we decorated the Christmas tree. We also played around with some santa hats and after the booze really kicked in, we fired up the karaoke and sang to our hearts content (ok, until we were so drunk we couldn't read the words on the screen anymore.) The evening was a great success and everyone had a fun time. I feel very lucky to have such great friends. Until next year, peace, love, good food and booze - lots of booze!!! Oh Fishmas Tree!!
Be it in a sombrero or santa hat, Brenda always makes sure she gives props to her homies.
Naughty or nice? We'll never tell!
Mike makes his own fashion statement. Needless to say the cane didn't last very long after the this picture was taken. :o(
Jackson plays Houdini with the tangled mess of lights.
Steve and Mikey playing with their balls. Oops, I mean their bulbs.
Tawna adds the angels and hopes to regain some of her innocence back.
Dave tops off the tree in 3 seconds flat as to make sure the ice doesn't melt in his drink.
A woman's touch makes lopsided Dave angel just right.
Watch out American Idol, drunken karaoke has begun!

And the turkey dinner finally kicks in......
