it was

Of yet another round of Christmas food binging...

Of leftovers that never tasted better...

Of Benny's catchphrase of the night, "Drip and die!"...

Of Za's good christmas-tree-design watermelons...

Of Marie's bad christmas-tree-design watermelons...

Of a pink ostrich strutting around nonchalantly...

Of the screamer Wong sisters at the foosball table...

Of sleek moves on a PS2 dancemat...

Of the scrubbing of floors and Za washing Lala's feet...

Of a great time or worship and prayer...

Of fancy ribbons and kaleidoscopic wrapping paper...

Of presents ranging from the conservative to the zany...

Of our introduction to the latest in the Pooh collection, Stripper Pooh...

Of Anderson, the Ballerina Princess in a pink tutu...

Of a gathering of close friends...

It was.
