Christmas is a wonderful time of year. Everyone gives you presents, you have an excuse to do some serious shopping and strange men want you to sit on their lap and offer you candy!* I can’t think of any other time of year when the festivities are so encompassing and we Momadonnas are not immune to its affects. We love the Holidays! We find ourselves running around allover the place causing general mayhem. However, since it is such a busy time of year, we find we have little time for ourselves. This year we had so little time we didn’t even host a Momadonnas Christmas Party! Well iCandy would not put up with that! She found a way to make us party - introducing the Christmas After Party. Much like the Grammy or Oscar After Parties this party was full of beautiful well dressed women, paparazzi,** and awards (in the form of gifts this time – not actual trophies).
iCandy must have been inspired. You know how every year you are the recipient of at least one gift that makes you shake you head and say “what were they thinking?” Well this party took advantage of that fact and each guest was asked to bring “one wrapped re-gifted present” for a gift exchange. They say one persons trash is another person’s treasure - well we were about to put that idiom to the test!
The Result you ask? It was a resounding success! We loved the re-gifting! Several gifts were so well received that they were actually fought over. Others gifts however, such as the 2010 scantily dressed Men of the Islands calendar and a gift that may prove to be the yard sell find of the year: chicken oven mitts, were so impressive they simply brought us to tears…. in fact days later we find they still do.
* Ho Ho Ho – yes him
** Coincidentally enough the paparazzi were those same well dressed women whipping out their iPhones.
