Erika's Annex Page 723 - Christmas at Court

What would Christmas be without a party, and who better to throw a party than the Imperial Court. So, after last year's debacle, when moi showed up at the appointed hour, but a week too late, it was with a sense of anticipation, mingled with apprehension in case moi had gotten the date wrong again, that moi arrived at Empress Amanda's pad for the celebration. .

As moi stepped into the room, moi observed Empress Coco being corseted, as if she needed any corsetting; my arrival occasioned joy from Coco... .

,,,and soon we were POSING like old friends (which, of course, we were), with moi in moi's festively silly Christmas hat - a hat moi soon jettisoned since it had the tendency to get caught in things like doorways, low hanging light fixtures and sprigs of mistletoe. .

Yes, it would appear so. Left to right - Lisa and Wayne, Frandy, and, oh yes, Present Boi again. .

After the food, it was time to sit back and relax (left) before the party games, which included Family Feud (right) and Charades. ,

Next came the gift exchange, with gifts in customized See's Candy bags. Moi believes those illustrated above are white chocolate hunks. .

Some people had to - just HAD to - try their gifts on at once. .

And so the evening wound down, with the usual indicator of the need to return to the Photopage List. But, fear not, moi is not yet done with you all. .
