Merry seXmas to All, and to All a Good Night!

I think it'll be hard to top New Years Eve after last night's seXmas bash at Megan's. As anticipated, especially with the booze flowing, the party was jumpin' jumpin'. I can't even fathom how many people came to the dinner party but there was a lot. And once again, Dev outdoes himself with the food, both quality- and portion-wise.

I think we can all admit it was a crazy night. A big, ol' kudos to Megan for throwing a hell of a party and putting up with the mess, shenanigans and raucous (but really, it's not one of our parties without all of that).

It felt really great having all the extra-familia loved ones under one roof. The 'plus-ones' were great additions as well. Welcome to the family.

The one thing that was definitely missing from this year's party was Nam making some iconic moment in which he will never live down (i.e. "How face is my red?", eating topless, "This is the best potatoes ever!"). However, this year, the award goes to Cuong. The infamous Cottage Story where Cuong got drunk but there was too much circumstantial evidence to prove it, was finally confirmed. He spent a good chunk of the time in the bathroom that night. After I said, "Guys, Cuong's in the bathroom throwing up.", I have never seen a living room clear out so fast. Everyone had their turn to finally get a glimpse of Cuong yakking up his dinner. Theory confirmed: not only can Cuong get drunk, he can get totally wasted.

The night was not complete without our usual Poker game (everyone got 'Meliminated') and some Friends' Trivia from my new game from Mel.

Alright, time to get prepared for the next 'tradition', the annual ski trip ... to Vermont!

P.S. Special thanks to Vicki, Sarah, Mel, Whitney, Alex, etc. for dressing up. Kathy, that shirt is not 'dressed up'. lol
