Ward Christmas Party

We had a great ward Christmas party. The kids played games upstairs, while the adults had a very funny "White Elephant Exchange." The idea was new to our Filipino friends, but once they caught on, they had a lot of fun. The coveted item of the game was a bright pink mosque-shaped alarm clock. I had it for a while, but it was stolen from me.

Some of the "big kids" wanted to sit on Santa's lap too.

Our friend, Syed, played Santa Clause again this year. He was a great Santa. I thought it was great that we had a Christian Iranian Mormon-convert playing St. Nick.
