The Annual Angels Christmas Party and Baronial Council Meeting was held on 18 December and was certainly a great success, judging by the number of folke who attended. Visiting dignitaries included Mistress Louise of Woodsholme, Cardinal Bulchetti (Lord Cameron of Caladoon), Lady Giesele Hildegaard of the Mystic Dragon and Lord Renfield. After a swift and well-run Council meeting (thanks to Lady Gabrielle nicChlurain and Lord Alewaulfe the Red, the reveling began.
"Cocktails" ran the gamut from beer and wine to Lord Thelin von Kallenbach's Wassail and Lord Gwydioan's mead. There is absolutely NO truth to the rumor that the Calafian Army is going to invade Lyonesse and steal our two best brewers! Some of the goodies on the two groaning tables were
- Lady Gabrielle's Stroganoff
- Baroness Ximena Aubel de Cambria's macaroni salad
- Fredrick of Woodlyn and Lyndia of Woodlyn's quartered and roasted game hens on rice
- Three vats of soup
- Cherry Cheesecake
- Viscountess Bevin Fraser of Stirling's Tuna Lasagne
- Someone's delicious read & green jello with fluffy white topping (recipe, please!)
- Salad
- Chips, dips and much more... but it was hard to get to it all!
After stuffing finishing dinner and allowing it to digest, the Gift Exchange began with Lord Renfield running the show aided and abetted by Lady Fiona (honest, we didn't rehearse!) It was easy to tell them apart--Renfield was the one with the large green bow on his forehead; Fiona had the pink one. The gits were, on the whole, really beautiful, including a set of four mugs with glass bottoms, four Irish Coffee mugs, a dagger, two Alicia Austin mirrors, an Armetale tankard, a black and gold headress, trim, jewelry, candles, etc. The dagger, mirrors and tankard passed hands so many times that it is difficult to remember who got what, but we have it on the best authority that Viscount Sir Morven of Carrick is the proud possessor of a new dagger and the infant son of Melanie de la Flamme has a new mirror for his bedroom, while Lady Sine nicChlurain has a new tankard, compliments of her SCA sister Lady Gabrielle. The Gift Exchange was finished off with a poem to Prince Martin the Temperate presented by Fredrick of Woodlyn.
Then it was on to more reveling and imbibing and generally sharing the warm Christmas spirit(s). Our thanks to Lady Catriona (is it true that you are going to rent the L.A.
