We thought, since we are on the subject of Christmas, we should mention the party of all parties at Sunnybrook in 2006.
It is always fun to decorate for a party. In 2006, we decided that the time had come for Sunnybrook to host a big Christmas bash. Since it was such a large house, it could hold our entire world of little people.
I think we finally ended up with 65-70 partiers.
We decorated all the rooms and loaded tables with wonderful food and drink. In the foyer, we set up a large Christmas tree and arranged people on and around the grand
circular staircase singing Christmas carols. The dining 
and living rooms 
were set with lots of food and drink and more guests. In fact, there were merry makers throughout the house.The most fun idea was that the music room would become a ballroom and house a “band” and dancers. It really was a lot of fun to have little people holding musical instruments--sometimes we had to wire them to the instruments since some of them refused to stay in the proper positions.
(We wired discretely so that the wires would not show.) We then decided to be matchmakers and selected the couples. 
They were so happy to cut a rug!The party went on for a long time—no one wanted to leave!
It took us almost as long to “undecorate” the house and remove the guests as it did to set it up!
We think that this year it should be Sunnybrook’s turn again.
