Merry Christmas! ‘Tis the season for the singing of songs full of nouns and verbs that we have no idea what they mean. Like, “tannenbaum” (a German word for a species of fir tree, which you could kind of figure out by the repeated use of “Christmas tree” in its place, but still), or, “troll”, as in, “troll the ancient Yule tide carols” (turns out “troll” is not a mythical cave dwelling being), and what’s a “Yule? Or, how awkward referring to an infant as “tender”, especially with the smell of turkey in the air? It’s just not appropriate.
But yes, Tis’ the season for song, happiness, and cheer….. And parties.. The Christmas kind. Which is why I’m writing this I suppose. (The first part of this post was for fun, factual entertainment..)
Next Wednesday, the 14th of December at the (exact) hour of 7 o’clock, we will be hosting a Christmas party. This evening will be filled with all sorts of Christmas themed happiness and cheer. Minus the HIGHLY odd and unusual Christmas sweaters with reindeer on them. To prove this point, I will give you a brief summary of things that will be taking place.
1. The Elf spaghetti eating contest….Thingy… (This event is subject to be changed without notice.)
As many of you have seen the classic movie Elf, Buddy, is apparently has a major problem in life.. He is ADDICTED to sugar and such items that contain it. Especially syrup. Which, I guess he likes on spaghetti too. So, because of the grossness of this idea, and everyone in the planning meeting for this party was like “We have GOT to try this!” , it made into the list of things taking place.
2. Two rights then make a left. Or was it right, left, right?
Instead of taking almost 1 full hour of our already pressed-for-time Christmas party, we aren’t having a white elephant gift exchange. But, we are playing right-left. Which goes somewhat goes like this; All of the people present will be divided up into teams. Each person will be given a gift and a made up a Christmas themed story…. Which greatly makes use of the two words that give direction, right and left. Every time the team leader says the word right in the story, everyone passes their present to the, yeah, you guessed it, right. The same thing is applied to the left as well.
That is really all I’m going to give you. Don’t want to spoil it. So, I suggest you come out and see all the fun happiness yourself. It’ll be a great outing. We hope to see you there. Oh, and for those of you who may be wondering what Figgy Pudding is, Figgy pudding is a pudding resembling something like a white Christmas Pudding containing Figs. The pudding may be baked, steamed in the oven, boiled or fried.
Merry Christmas to all!
Love, the Generation Church youth group. 
But no worries, we’re here to make the stupidity of the back to school season a little more FUN! (Yes I said fun..)
Anyway, come on out! We’d LOVE to have you come and hang out with us for a bit. It’ll be a TON OF FUN! (I can promise you that much.) And it’s also been rumored that we might be trying to get some Roman Candles, sparklers and stuff like that… hehe
. But in all seriousness, We WILL WIN!! No doubt about that…
