Post 524: Twas a PWAS Christmas Party

Twas a PWAS Christmas Party

Friday, December 20, 2024. The Prince William Art Society members held their annual Christmas party at the Tall Oaks Community Center with great music, delicious food, some fun announcements, a wild game of Pictionary, and many laughs.

Twas a Few Nights Before Christmas

' Twas a few nights before Christmas, when all through Tall Oaks...

The Prince William Art Society members were stirring! Our members, so talented, their voices and fingers were whirling...

The decorations were hung by the Board with such care, In hopes that PWAS would soon be there. (Thank you Board members! The decor was beautiful!)

The dishes were nestled all snug in their place, while visions of sugar-plums awaited their fates.
Was anyone wearing a 'kerchief or a cap?
They had just settled down for a long winter's chat...
When out on the floor there arose such a clatter, we enjoyed the Christmas cheer that settled the matter. (Thank you guys! Loved the clatter!)
When, what to my wondering eyes should appear, but a tiny Christmas tree with gift cards for members recognized this year!
Her eyes - how they twinkled! her dimples how merry! We all had such fun, playing the game Pictionary!
Now, Dew! now, Dillon! now, Patty and Evelyn! On Murphy! on, Betty! on, Donna and Staci! Now draw away! draw away! draw away all!
He was dressed all in colors, from his head to his foot...
She spoke not a word, but went straight to her work...
I heard them exclaim, ere they drove out of sight, "Happy Christmas to all, and to all a good-night."

And on to the New Year!
