Shèngdàn jié kuàilè




The gingerbread men were giddy with excitement. There was a blazing fire on the television and multi-ethnic Christmas music blasting away on our computer.


It was the setting for our 4th almost annual “Deck the Halls of Dormitory 13” party and the kick off for evoking our Christmas spirit.


Our multi-national elves came prepared for some serious Christmas tree ornament manufacturing.

 
One diligent elf spent the evening making to paper snow and ensuring that we would have a white Christmas.



While incidents of dangerous scissor work were rampant, everyone went home with the correct number of fingers.



There was some grumbling about the crowded working conditions but when we threatened to withhold the many desserts that were prepared, the elves were quickly brought back in line.  




It was all worth it. From all the piles of craft debris, some inventive and cutting edge ornaments now decorate  our tree including a beautiful paper cut winter diorama, with light show illuminating our window ledge.
