| Lyn had said "look for the glow", and the house WAS aglow --
both outside and in. There were thousands of holiday lights, two warm
fireplaces, and probably a hundred candles sparkling in a most inviting,
welcoming, home. Three Christmas trees, flowers galore, and the hostess herself
added to the decorations. But the BIGGEST hit was the garland of boughs and
lights that held the shimmering Billyornaments (we've decided this is one word)
made by Lyn and her partner-in-party-making, Laurie. |

 Our beautiful brunette hostess, Lyn |
The garland of Billyornaments, right, adorns the entry to the food-laden kitchen. Oh, you wanted to see another Billyornament closeup? Ok, click here. Then use your browser's BACK button to return. |  Click the picture to see full-size |
 Ashlie, Crazy John, Sarah & Lyn |
Sarah & Jan brought 12 trading cards for each attendee which made up the song, The twelve shows of Christmas. They were wrapped in Hillbilly wrapping paper! Watch for it on Jan's Hillbilly site soon. |  Dave |
 Jim and Ashlie |
The tables were laden with the tortelini and various sauces, meat balls, salads, dips, chips, crackers, cheeses, nuts. (HEY who said that about DBC members?) and other scrumptious goodies, many of which came from Lyn's work. AH HA , so does Lyn work for a caterer or a pricey restaurant? We'll let you ponder a bit and tell you later. |  Ashlie's mom, Margaret (Maggie) and little sister, Amanda |

Everybody but Lyn was surprised when
Evan joined us. Here he is (right) with a Mandolin Billy cookie, just before he bit it's head off. To see a whole plate full of Billy cookies big enough to use as desktop wallpaper, click here. |

 Crazy John listening to shell |
Kirk called during the party with
apologies. He had a sore throat and his voice was starting to get hoarse. We
understand -- protect that golden voice by all means. |

| Crazy John got first pick at the White Elephant gift exchange. He really liked his shell, but then, so did Alan, who traded for it. Crazy John ended up with... bath oil? | ||
 Dennis, Jim, Jan & Claudia |
Left: Jan with a lamp that
looked like a Chianti-bottle candle, and and Claudia with a REAL Chianti-bottle
candle. Dennis got a woman's watch, Margaret a drill, Sarah a Rolls Royce, Lyn
sounds of Christmas... Who ended up with the See's candy? And from what year
was it? John and family were in the area and stopped by. |
