"Decorating..."

It is always difficult to be away from family and friends during the holidays-so we try our best to celebrate as an extended crew family.  The other night, the crew staying here at Appelsbosch, got together coloured ornaments, strung popcorn garlands, cheerio garlands, and made paper chains.  All this to prepare for tree decorating.  Earlier in the day, Jesse and other crew members went and cut some pine tress branches and fashioned them into trees.  Since we are lean on Christmas supplies, many of the tress decorations were handmade this year.  They looked wonderful!  Donovan, our managing director, ladled out home made eggnog made by his wife Mae, and the galley made homemade fudge!
