After the beautiful celebration of Midnight masses and Christmas day masses in various parts of the Delta the Friars, Redemptorists and Sisters gather to enjoy some relaxing time together.
Sister Elena works on a few pre-dinner items.
Father Greg volunteers to do the meat on the grill.
All sit down together to enjoy a good meal and fellowship.
After everyone has eaten and the food is cleared away, we have time for some fun!
Two tables, each with a good game of “spoons” using peppermint candy!
Notice the candy in the cneter of the table.
Notice the missing candy in the center of the table.
Notice Fr. Greg who is just too serious about his cards!
He gets it! Just too late.
As the day comes to a calmer place and the company has gone on to a movie or just their own quiet space the Sisters settle down to some fun sharing of the gifts they have for each other.
Sister Kathleen opens boxes within boxes and all she is hoping for is a Dollar Tree card!
What can you have in here?
A new plant stand for Chapel!
Something useful for dusting those high shelves.
A new chair for Sister Mary Ann to relax and enjoy her good books in.
