You may consider this as a late submission. It is, really. Twenty (20) days, thirteen (13) hours, and seven (7) minutes late. But, you see I have to wait until I descend from euphoria and shake off some of the clinginess before I can properly write this.
December 15, 2012, is TFG’s last F2F for the said year, and the book chosen was Charlie and the Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl. It was also our book club’s Christmas Party. The event was really thematic; we have loot bags, party hats, and masks waiting on our tables, plus chocolates and candies everywhere. No one can deny that the electricity of excitement was shooting in every direction, and we felt nothing but love for each other.
The discussion was not hurried, but yes, it was short to give way to the much-awaited party to commence. Instead of the traditional stockings, we hanged eco-bags to hold all the goodies we’re about to receive. And, I have to say, I am really happy, grateful, and blessed for the gifts I received.
I wish each and every one the love, peace, and success 2013 can profoundly offer. And, to our dear and humble book club, I pray for God’s peace and speed ahead. May the love and hope we share among us keep us banded together through all the trials ahead and always.
That was really fun! I'm really excited to see more of the newbies in the upcoming discussions and watch our book club grow. :)
