The Alvin Country Squares enjoyed a special “Waiting for Santa” dance on December 10th. We donned our pajamas,
robes, slippers, and even kerchiefs, and enjoyed milk, cookies, hot cocoa, and other goodies while we danced
and waited for Santa. He finally arrived in all his splendor, and spent the evening visiting and posing for photos
with the dancers. Gary Sanders kept us dancing up a storm to wonderful Christmas music. Two stuffed teddy bears
volunteered to be door prizes, and went to new homes at the end of the dance. We had a drawing for a weekend getaway
at the Marriot in Pearland, which was won by Marjorie Jacobs of the Lake Jackson Promenaders. We even had
a “reindeer”! We’d like to thank everyone who came out and waited for Santa with us. Everyone got into the spirit
of the evening and it was a great success! We thank Bill Lewis for the wonderful photos of the dance that he posted
on his website, and we hope everyone will take a minute to look at them. * * * We hope to see you all at our first
dance of the new year on January 7th. We will start the new year out right with a dinner of blackeyed peas, greens
and cabbage, and cornbread. Then we will dance the night away to OLDIES called by none other than our own Gary
Sanders! Dinner will be served at 6:00 and the dance will begin at 7:00. Happy New Year, everyone! * * *
