A new precedent


Here's a funny video for you today, it's a BMW Call.

On the weekend, husband M and I went to a 'Christmas' gathering at a nice restaurant at the other end of the city.  There were 7 couples, consisting of his co-workers and their spouses.  It was an enjoyable evening, the person who put the party together remarked that last October, November or December didn't seem to work for everyone.  Maybe this is the setting of  a new precedent.  Or maybe it means the Christmas season is now extending well into the New Year.

And I understand the NFL Superbowl is coming up.  More reason for another party.  If you live in North America, will you be celebrating?

    Perhaps it's a good idea to have a get together after the season, when everybody has more time. Have a nice day, Valerie

    I wish one of my personalities liked cleaning too Christine, it has been such a long time since I've given my house a good cleaning.
    Loved the video about the BMW call.....very clever.
    I still need to catch up on friends I missed seeing in December......January & February are very popular months for dinner parties.
    Hugs

    Christine, I mentioned your name in my blog today. Come have a look.
    And I decided against having a super bowl party next month, because I am hosting a large birthday party for my sister-in-law in March.

    I don't live in North America so no Superbowl party for me. I wouldn't mind a post-Christmas-Christmas party but I've already eaten too much Christmas stuff as it is. That shows a lot of dedication to Christmas. It's kinda fun they did that in my opinion.

    Hahahaha! Thanks for the laugh, Christine. That video was hilarious. 'D' for day mode and 'N' for night mode!

    I'm not a big fan of cleaning either... It definitely is sometimes is easier to celebrate events at other times...

      It was a good Italian restaurant. I had a seafood pasta and M had swordfish. Pretty yummy. Someone had an arugula and pear salad I wish I had noticed on the menu. I thought of you when one of the women told me she developed a severe milk allergy in the past 4 years. Sheesh.

      Sheesh on her allergies. Good news on mine, I think I'm starting to understand the root causes and we're taking action. So with any luck, in due time, I'll be able to enjoy a grilled cheese on homemade bread. With my homemade tomato soup.

      Arugula is so nice. Love it on sandwiches. Or in soups. Swordfish, seafood, pasta. All sounds killer good.

    It's annoying that every group and organization I belong to decides they have to have a party in December. I like the idea of stretching things out.

    We just went to a "holiday party" last week since everyone was too busy during Christmas/New Year. Hmmmm... Super Bowl? Poor Art... There isn't anybody in the family here in Hawaii that is sports minded. I wish we were on the mainland this Sunday. We're going to get pizza and I'll watch the show with him. I watch for the commercials. :-)
