Saturday afternoon to evening was all fun and games at the Footscray 1st Ward Christmas Party.

We had our feast, caroling, Santa, and a couple of games to finish off the night.

A few of my friends came along which was great to see but I had forgotten to invite more; I just wasn't thinking straight with all the running around I've been doing and also the youth Christmas party which we will be having this Tuesday to finish off the youth program for this year, and resume February next year.

So of course, we had a feast filled with chicken, looks to be a favourite here, before we sat down for some caroling.

Unfortunately, Christmas carols didn't go too well as nobody really knew the words, and even if they did, felt embarrassed to sing because they'd be the only ones. It was unfortunate, but we'll remember to hand out lyrics next time, I presume.

A special guest, Santa, also arrived to give the children all a little gift; a bag of lollies really.

It was a great laugh as it was our New Zealand friend Brent, and seeing an Islander Santa was just new for us, and a sight out of the ordinary.

Special treat from the missionaries, we had them sing a carol also.
