We had our Sunday school class Christmas party last night. We had about 25 or so people for dinner, dessert, and a white elephant gift swap. Joy and I had a great time visiting with everyone and enjoying all of the great food. After the gift swap about half of the people left and the rest of us played Catchphrase for about two or two and a half hours. I have no idea why, but our class always seems to play Catchphrase whenever we have parties. My team was definitely the losing team. We managed to win only one round out of the fifteen to twenty we played. Pitiful, yes, but we still had a blast. Everyone was in a good mood and we had a great time laughing at the crazy words that came up and our attempts to get our teams to guess them. After we had had enough of Catchphrase, almost everyone else left and then a few of us stuck around for a game of Settlers of Catan. We played with the regular box and Cities and Knights (no Seafarers) and we used the event cards instead of the dice. Lindsey won, as she frequently does, but I don’t think any of the rest of us were left too far out of the game. We finally finished the game just after 2 AM, and that really makes me wonder: why in the world do we not start games of Catan earlier in the evening so they end at a sensible time?!? It’s madness, I tell you (but it sure is fun!).
