This year Bill’s colleague Tony and his wife Nieva hosted the annual Christmas party in the Carriage House at The Reitz Home. This is a historic Victorian house that belonged to one of Evansville’s legacy families. The residence is always worth a visit as it’s filled with history but at Christmas, it’s even better. Each of the rooms is decorated for Christmas. As a treat, Tony and Nieva arranged for us to tour before the party started.
After dinner, it was time for the Christmas shenanigans which included a Family Feud quiz show. Following that was the rousing Dirty Santa gift exchange. This year both Bill and I each contributed a gift. I brought the drill that I had won last year.
Someone clever brought this giant teddy bear with suture removal kit and a letter attached. The letter said that the bear had some unexpected treasures inside but the sutures could only be removed by the final owner of the bear. That bear was a hot item. It got swapped every single round until the very end.
We all had a lovely time. Next year is our turn to host and we are already starting to toss around ideas. Merry Hebron Christmas!
