Pre-Chrissy celebs

My church put up a community lunch last Saturday for under priviledged families who otherwise would not be able to afford a decent meal for Christmas. We wanted them to be blessed with good food, great company, and a live Christmas band. The list of songs were pretty funky and tough to coordinate together as a band and with the choir. Who said Christmas carols were easy to play? Let alone Christmas carols Hillsong modified style!

As we were practising our carols on Wednesday, wooden tables and plastic chairs were laid out in the hall. They looked boring. But the next day when we came back for another practice, the place was totally transformed with nice tablecloths, fitting chair covers tied with golden bows, and fresh flowers in vases, all fit for kings and queens.

The invited guests started turning up at 1pm for the buffet. There was a man who arrived without his family, thinking it was a food-readily-packed giveaway session. When he realised he was in for a real treat, he quickly taxied in this family! We had kids programs and a jumping castle at the backyard of the church. Everyone was just having an awesome time.

Later that night, we had a Chrissy party at my cell group leader's house. We ate and stuffed ourselves full. A piece of advice: Try not to laugh too much with a full tummy. You'll have a hard time trying to sleep.
