Happy Holidays [Christmas Party 2009]

What with Christmas being 1 month away, and term being 1 week from over, a CHRISTMAS BASH was in order.

Yes, I know it was almost a month early.
Yes, I know it was the Friday night sandwiched between Thanksgiving and our CME Thanksgiving potluck.
Yes, I know we went all out with Christmas music, tinsel, holiday finger paintings, and gold/green/red/silver ribbons.


And YES, it was AMAZING.
