Hawaiian Christmas Party

Well, I just got back from the university Christmas chapel, my degree completion program job's Christmas party, and the university Staff Hawaiian Christmas Party. Wow.

Chapel was cool. Moses's singing voice from Prince of Egypt sang for us. I ditched the first half of one party to go to chapel. Got there just in time for the white elephant gift exchange. Someone actually gave away a white elephant. I received Christmas potholders with the Walmart smiley in a Christmas cap. Woo. I guess the fam should be looking out for those in just about a week's time at the next white elephant gift exchange. The price tags are still on them!

The university staff lunch was awesome! We thought it was funny that it's been raining lately and we're having a luau, but it worked. Water fountains, tons of fruit, and a huge array of food, from mahi mahi to pina colada rice. One of the cool features was a chocolate fountain, where you could dip fruit in the fountain and cover it with chocolate. I just got a dessert and dipped it. Heheh.

But the ultimate part of the party was when the dancing began. That's right, first the women, then the men (butt jiggling and coconut "grinding"), and then the President! I haven't laughed that hard in ages. President C.C. was hula-ing on stage with a bunch of women! Oh my gosh. If I get pictures, I'll post them. Seriously, I laughed so hard I started choking; I couldn't control myself.

And now that that's all over I only have 2.5 hours of work left. Awesome.
