As we began arriving at 5:30 we found the room decorated to the “T’s” thanks to Verna and Cathy. Beautiful red poinsettia centerpieces contrasted by traditional white tablecloths – just stunning. If you weren’t in the mood for Christmas before you arrived you definitely were now!
After brief opening remarks and welcome, Bob gave the blessing – it was time to eat. Sugar B’s food is exceptional and certainly was for our Christmas Party. I can attest that I cleaned my plate! I would have gone back for seconds but glad I didn’t after looking a couple of photos… Yikes!
Finally, we were delighted to present Children’s Harbor Chief Operating Officer, Mr. Myrle Grate, a check for $500.00, roughly 50 percent of our car show registration fee. Myrle thanked our club for our generosity and invited our club to their April Art Show by the Lake (Martin), an event I’m looking forward to. As we were enjoying our dessert, it was time for the dirty Santa extravaganza.
Our names were called one by one – we had a great time selecting a gift – holding our breath if it was a good one and not stolen. Conversely crossing our fingers that it would if not so good. One gift that sticks out – someone received bacon and a dozen eggs… Well breakfast is guaranteed for that person. 
The annual British Motoring Club of Montgomery’s Christmas Dinner Party had come to an end. Conversations lingered as we headed to our cars. Special thanks go to Verna and Cathy for hosting a great event.
See you all soon!
