On Saturday night, the Kudjip Mission Family got together for our Christmas dinner. We had ham, sc
alloped potatoes, green beans, rolls, and lots of good desserts. We were all seated at tables decorated in the theme of a Christmas Carol - from Away in the Manger, O Come O Come Emmanuel, Hark the Herald Angels sing and much more. We got to sing all these songs and one table even played the bells for their song. After singing our carols, we played a game called Encore. We picked a word and then each table had to come up with a song which had that word in it. Once one table sang their song it 
was the next table's turn. We had a lot of "new" songs/lines of carols introduced that we heard for the first time as folks were trying to come up with songs which had the word in it. Like Silent Night, Holy LIGHT, and Rudolph - won't you guide my sleigh tonight with BELLS, we also had some nonChristmas songs trying to get past the judges - but it didn't work. It was a lot of fun and lots of laughs were enjoyed by all. After this game, we had a visit from Santa Claus who gave out gifts to the Missionary Kids. It was a good night, and lots more activities are planned for these next few days.
