Christmas Par-Tay! Hoot, Hoot

Hosted by Whabby


Owl Manor Entrance Hall


Main Christmas Tree to left of the stairs


Put on your Christmas best, Owls, because we’re about ready to enjoy an all-day bash the likes of which you’ve never experienced before! Starting at 12 noon Eastern, we’ll be throwing open the doors and welcoming all owls and their guests to the first annual Owl Manor Christmas party!

JodiHo and TinaHo, in their Christmas best!

our very own Custard and Just_Lin


Slaving in the Manor’s kitchens all week long, Shirley and Goldie have prepared a mouth-watering treasure-trove of menu items to satisfy even the most demanding food lovers, while Whabbear has stocked the bar with a wide variety of holiday treats and libations.
Shirley and Goldie, slaving in the kitchen? I think not!


Whabby making the drinks, he looks so handsome, I wonder if he will jump on the couch!

As we saw last weekend, the Manor is already decorated inside and out with lights and baubles galore, and the ever-attentive Manor staff is ready to cater to your every whim and desire. On the main floor, pit your skills against other owls in the game room, take a dip in the deliciously heated indoor pool, or relax in the hot tub.

Birdee in the hot tub with her pal's, in all their nekkidness, I think Mo ate their heads, as ya know she is a "piggy"!

Upstairs, your bedroom is all set to accommodate you, so no drinking and driving is necessary. Enjoy a mid-afternoon nap, or a full body massage if you are in need of some serious relaxation. In the basement, Shirley has stockpiled all sorts of Christmas favors and pranks to keep things interesting.

One of the Owl Manor bedrooms, necessary items located in the chest of drawers ;O)


In the midst of celebrating, take a minute to venture outside and stroll along the oversized Manor porch. Inhale a mildly illegal herbal substance with a fellow owl, look out over the beautiful snow-covered Manor grounds, and reflect on the meaning of Christmastime.

Keep us up to date in the comments section on what you’re doing, what adventures you’re having, what gossip you’ve just overheard (or supplied), and what pranks you’ve just experienced (or carried out). Above all, savor the company, enjoy Owl Manor, and have a virtually wonderful time!

As you leave the Par-Tay, please grab one of these on the dining hall table, the heart is what is most important, as it beats for you all

  12. Morning Birdee!

    Here's some music to start the day.

    Jingle Bell Rock

    Bobby Helms

    Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
    Jingle bells swing and jingle bells ring
    Snowing and blowing up bushels of fun
    Now the jingle hop has begun

    Jingle bell, jingle bell, jingle bell rock
    Jingle bells chime in jingle bell time
    Dancing and prancing in Jingle Bell Square
    In the frosty air.

    What a bright time, it's the right time
    To rock the night away
    Jingle bell time is a swell time
    To go gliding in a one-horse sleigh
    Giddy-up jingle horse, pick up your feet
    Jingle around the clock
    Mix and a-mingle in the jingling feet
    That's the jingle bell,
    That's the jingle bell,
    That's the jingle bell rock.

  13. Good Morning Hooters!!! Happy Partay day!!!

    Congrats on 1st Lynn.

    Might I say that I have never looked so good in a bikini as I do on the front page!! LOL

    Snowed in and its still coming. We have 8 inches so far and its blowing and major drifting. WOW- even the malls are closed this morning! None of my neighbors have gone to work and we have huge drifts on our porch that even Pepper is leary of.

    I am going to go help myself to some beverages while I walk around the Manor and take in all the decorations.

    Welcome to the Midwest Turtle!!!!

    :-)

  21. MEK- hope you feel better.

    Lois, you can't crash a party you were invited to! You are an owl, so its your party.

    We bribed, (I mean employed) the neighbor kids next door to shovel us out, so I am sitting here all fluffed and puffed and don't have to do a damn thing!! Some of the drifts on our deck and driveway are over 2 feet deep.

    Pepper loves playing in the snow, not so sure about the peeing and pooping when it is up to her you know what though!! LOL

  24. Good Morning and Happy Party to all of us. Thanks so much for the preparations, food, booze, decorations and pictures. Thank you to SHIRLEY, WHABBY, GOLDIE AND CAROL.

    I browsed the comments and I have to rush out but wanted to stop by really fast to hang up a sign by the pool and hot tub. It says, "NO TRESPESSING FOR ("I forgot her name") aka ZONA" . There will be a lot of owls at this party and some of us would like to swim or soak and from previous stories, I just think it will benefit all of us is she doesn't take a dip or swim. Just sayin' for the good of the other owls! I know some of you get my drift. :)

    Will be back later. IBB only one day until your Birthday. Are you making big plans?

    MEK: Hope you feel better. Not a good time of year to be sick (like there is really any "good" time)!

    ReplyDelete
  25. Heyyyy hooters!

    Love the party decorations and menu! You guys really outdid yourselves!

    I have to go to the dentist in a while, so will be back later to enjoy some of the goodies that will kill the pain!

    VIG have a safe, fun trip!! I can just imagine you laying on the beach under an umbrella, a cabana boy tending to your every need!

    MEK feel better! I recommend one of the hot drinks!

    Congrats Lynn on first :)

    Good Morning - Maureen, Carol,
    Birdee, Shirley, Goldie, Mek, Lois, East Bay J, Zona-my-baby, Ibebold, VIG, and Dianne.

    I thought I saw that fantastic Tom Cruise look-a-like Whabbear but when I scrolled again he wasn't there. I guess he flew back home for more refreshments.

    ReplyDelete
  27. VIG - I am excited for you. Are you sure I wouldn't fit in your carry-on?

    I have 20 minutes before the party starts so I will get all my morning chores done and be back then.

    "Please join me in a Christmas party toast to Majel Barrett Roddenbery, Nurse Chapel, who just died at the age of 76.

  42. Whabbear - The place looks beautiful. I love the main tree.

    Shirley - I will start with a little unspirited egg nog and some pigs in a blanket. That will hold me until after my nap. I love the bed you set out. May I nap there? I will wear fancy Christmas P.J's in keeping with the season.

    Raising my glass of egg nog Bear to whoever that is who died. God rest her soul.

  44. **Walks in and is astounded by the decor and amazing people**

    Hey y'all!! Happy Christmas Par-tay Friday!! lol

    HOOT! Thanks Whabbear for such a great party!
    Congrats on first LynnD on this very special day!:)

    Thank you Shirley and Goldie also! And a special thanks to Carol for the fab pics!!

    I'll be bopping in and out all day haha

    I need a nap first..Barely slept last night:(

    Have fun everybody!

    **Wonders when Whabbear and I make our "prance" entrance;)LMAO

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh my, Shirley back away from the eggnog, its still early!!

    made a double batch of gingersnap dough, and a double batch of cut-out cookie dough and have them in the fridge. Now I am off to make the spritz, peanut blossoms and pecan pie bars. Mr. Goldie is a little stingy with the gingersnaps but I'll share the rest with you!!

    ReplyDelete
  46. I thank you all very kindly with the thanks for the par-tay- but I must confess that I had very little to do with it. It really was Whabby, Shirley and Carol who did most of it. I just baked my fingers to the bone making you all "special" desserts....:)

    ReplyDelete
  47. Oh, whabby, that was the wife of Star Trek creator right?

    Watergate's "Deepthroat"(**giggles**) died also at the age of 95!!

    DEEPTHROAT DIES

    I also just found out the hard way, that if you have another blogger tab open where you were let's say commenting on someone else's blog(a sweet lady from the ANT colony)...make sure you're on the RIGHT blogger before hitting send! LMAO

    Thank goodness for the little trashcan button:)haha

  93. Too bad BON IS SO SLOSHED. She could help me drag NN/LL upstairs. BON seems to have a patch over one eye. I wonder what happened.

  94. Ahoy Mateys~~Don't Ask, Don't Tell!

    This day is weird. A minute ago I had a mini-blizzard. Now I'm snowblind from the sun.

    ReplyDelete
  95. Oh there you are BON. Did you get glitter in your eye. I see sparkling stuff running down your cheek. Should we graze on some of these lovely horsedouvers?

    ReplyDelete
  96. Don't forget to save some booze for EBJ. What goes best with novacaine?

    Lani~~I've eaten a lot of chicken gizzards, but never tried them horse ovaries. Are they good?

  97. Joey, I am waiting for you and Whab to prance in!

    The album you made was cute and thoughtful!

    OK time to try out Shirley's buffet and get a drink.

    I'll be back!

  98. Bono thanks for thinking of me!

    What goes good with Vicodin? haha!

    ReplyDelete
  99. BonO Maybe we should put some glitter on that eye patch to make it more festive. LMAO!!!

    Okay, I REALLY have to get something done just as soon as I figure out what that something is.

    LOL @ SnoSnewz

  103. Holy Crap! Watching NWCN live coverage of two charter busses hanging halfway over an arterial wall above I-5 freeway in Seattle. I think everyone's out/transported, but 2 lanes of the freeway are closed below. Scary stuff!

    ReplyDelete
  104. LOIS~~I left the eye-patch at J/L's MS house (actually, it looks more like Madonna's cone bra, so maybe a tassle would be more approprate??)

    Thanks anyway~~

    Luv,

    BOB

    ReplyDelete
  129. Santa,
    I want a healthy, prosperous and happy holiday for all my friends and family. I would like to be able to feel a little more Christmas Spirit this year. I would like to have a large flat screen television to put over my fireplace, I would like some Estee Lauder Pleasures perfume (the original kind), I would like a large super maginified mirror to pick out my chin hairs (okay TMI, sorry)...and I would like to have another Christmas with my Mom and Dad (since they are getting old).

    ReplyDelete
  130. Well, sweet lil bebbi, I will do my best, but I don't always get everything on your list. Also, I don't have much control over the health, wealth,etc..so you might want to pray about that too. :) I will get you what I can get you. You have been such a good girl this year.

    ReplyDelete
  131. Aww..Santa..I love you *gives Santa a big hug* *grabs my eggnog and appetizers and walks over by the fire* It sure is a beautiful party, huh, iteach.

    ReplyDelete
  132. Hey, I have another party to attend and have to leave at 6:45, so if anyone wants to sit on my lap, you better speak up. I am a busy and "in demand" elf this time of year!

    ReplyDelete
  133. *looks around* Hmmm...I wonder where all the owls are hiding!! Whabby..are you afraid hubby will get jealous if you sit on another man's lap? *wink*

    ReplyDelete
  134. *looks around* Hmmm...*pulls out pipe* *packs it with tobacco (and other stuff)* *lights it up* *a thin veil of smoke heads up around Santa's head* *leans back into the chair* Ohh, this place is nice and cozy!

    and D) one of the owls films the whole thing and uploads it to Xtube, then

    E) Mr Whabbear will be all over it!
