Secret Santa at Bambi's

'Twas a week before Christmas, and all thro' the ring, all the creatures were stirring, some even with bling! The barrels were placed by the tall tree with care, in hopes that Secret Santas would rest their butts there. The children were dancing well away from their beds, while a red flying saucer flew over their heads. (...)

This alternate start to "twas the Night Before Christmas" may not sound so strange to those who were fortunate enough to share LCDR. Bambi "BamBam" Baxter's Secret Santa party at her place in Agrippa! Third Fleet was invited and we sure enjoyed it very much. 'Tis the season to be jolly and bright at heart and moments like these deserve a little memento, or two or three... So here they are.

Full ring at Bambi's place with DJ Kate spinning.

The (shameless!) hostess, LCDR. Bambi "BamBam" Baxter, Angel 2. ( see here )

Me: "I want peace on Earth and good will towards men." Santa: "How about a kiss?"

CAPT. Pobieski: "What did this poor gnome do to deserve this?"

Gathering for Secret Santa hour. No gifts for the elf gnomes.

George Newberry was eager to get his gift but not enough to drop his Guiness!

For auld lang syne, my dear, for auld lang syne...

Me: "So what did he do anyway?" BamBam: "Who...?"

The skipper gets a hug!

Back on the dance ring. Not Christmas without Guiness and Smirnoff.

The Boss ponders... Irish or Russian? Ireland won.

Meanwhile, in a galaxy close close by...

Gifts away! The skipper shows her talent as bomber pilot.

Dancing 'till the end of time again. Happy Holidays!

Thank you, BamBam. Merry Christmas!
