Christmas is over, Happy Holidays

Most of Christmas day I spent "down and out (of it)," not ill, just exhausted
Took two days to recuperate.

Just in time for a replay of an event I really enjoyed last year.

Sakon Pattana Suska School Reunion

It's a Thai family social event, just before the New Year.
Family and plenty friends

Then comes the New Year

My new Year tradition: I stay within a three minute staggering distance to my mattress. 

No road checks! Just Thai family and friends.

Wish you the best of everything in 2013. And hope 13 is your lucky number. 

Sakon Pattana Suska School Reunion

I was invited by friends and family.

The entertainment and service was really great and made for a pleasant evening.
The party started 6 PM, Thai time.
We were the first ones to arrive and seemed to have the place to ourselves for at least an hour.

Most of the food disappeared quickly after hitting the table.
It was just that good. If you wanted to eat, you had to be quick about it.
One of the kids at our table has a sumo wrestler type body. He eats like that too.
I made sure I didn't go away hungry.

Half way through the evening, two tables were joined so friends could sit together.
Monkey see monkey do.
All of a sudden tables were moved everywhere, there were three tables in our group.

For a moment it looked more like moving day than a party 

I knew so many people and made many new friends,  I did spend some time table hopping.

The party was still going strong when I headed home.
