Christmas Celebration Magic
Fifteen years of sparkle, stitched in ribboned seams,
KM gathered again to toast their festive dreams.
A shared affair with Avryl Kinnon’s crew—
last year’s laughter begged for “Take Two.”
We kicked things off with bubbles—French champagne, strawberries sweet,
and Paige’s cookie snowmen, chocolate-art you almost hate to eat
At Clay Friends we gathered, all pink and quite absurd,
in sunglasses so silly they defied the spoken word.
We decorated mugs with strokes of questionable flair—
“masterpieces” only a mother (or Santa) would declare.
Avryl fell for a platter at the very first sight
—
and we’re still not sure Brad expected concierge by right.
Thank you, Brad; you steered our merry crew
like a captain of soft chaos in a sea of sparkling dew.
Then off we went to MMK, our appetites in tow,
cocktails in theory (mocktails really), ready for the show.
Garlic bread, Avryl’s choice, kicked off the feast with flair,
and every plate that followed had us dancing in our chairs.
Salads tumbled, tofu torched, a feast of merry chaos,
desserts strutted proudly—crème brûlée led the toss.
Coffees whispered secrets, spoons staged playful fights,
every bite and every sip lit up our festive nights.
And as for the shades—oh, Katya wore her pair
with the stubborn pride of a queen at a royal fair.
She refused every swap, declared them her crown,
speaking in a silly rhythm that turned the team upside-down.
The glasses weren’t magic… but they somehow were,
a tiny pink portal that altered the world for her.
We missed Tahnee and Nicola, their sparkle out of sight,
but their laughter lingered softly, like stars in the night.
Though absent from the chaos, their spirit joined the fun,
reminding us that festive joy is never truly done.
Fifteen years of fancy, fun, and fabulous cheer,
we raise our glasses high to the memories we hold dear.
Now sweet sixteen is waiting, wrapped in ribbon and light—
ready to sparkle, to giggle, and shine ever so bright x
