We got a lot of compliments on the social, and the good news is the Activities Committee only went over budget by 5% this year. When it was over, I came home and went to bed and didn't move for 24 hours. I read Rudyard Kipling's Kim.

Christmas party. We survived. As we were putting the final touches on the decorations, Leonard and Martha Ross walked in and suggested that they would like us to leave the room set up for their party the following night. I said, "Which foot would you like me to kiss first?" It gave us a new lease on life to know we wouldn't have to take the whole thing down after spending the evening feeding and entertaining three hundred people.
