IT WAS THE WEEK BEFORE CHRISTMAS(ACTUALY LAST NIGHT) AND AT KMAQ, THE AUTOMATION SYSTEM WAS PLAYING CHRISTMAS MUSIC WHILE THE STAFF WAS AT BUDDE'S HOMETOWN RESTAURANT IN PRESTON. THERE IS NO RESTAURANT IN IOWA THAT HAS MORE CHRISTMAS DECORATIONS THAN BUDDE'S, ESPECIALLY INSIDE.
THE VOY 3 THEATRE SCREENS  WERE DARK.   THE THEATRE CLOSED FOR THE SPEICIAL EVENT.

IT WAS THE ANNUAL KMAQ-VOY THEATRE CHRISTMAS PARTY.
THERE WERE 5 TABLES AND WE WERE THE LAST TO BE SEATED!

MOST ENJOYED A LITTLE CHRISTMAS CHEER BEFORE DINNER AND THEN WE ENJOYED A CHICKEN, HAM AND SHRIMP BUFFET WITH ALL THE
TRIMMINGS.    AND OH THE FOOD WAS GOOD.

IT WAS 36 DEGREES WITH A MIST WHEN WE ALL DROVE THE 15 MINUTE TRIP TO THE GREAT LITTLE JACKSON COUNTY TOWN.    ON THE WAY HOME,
32 DEGREES AND SNOWING....BUT WE ALL MADE IT FINE.

FROM THE HOMETOWN RESTAURANT, BACK TO THE TIMBER CITY AND TO
NANCY'S HOUSE, FOR.....GRASSHOPPERS.....CAKE AND ICE CREAM.

A LITTLE FRIENDLY CHATTER....GIFT OPENING....AND 9:15 THE PARTY
WAS OVER!
AND EVERYONE THEN WENT  HOME AND SETTLED DOWN FOR A LONG WINTER'S NIGHT.
WELL...IT REALLY WASN'T WINTER (BEGINS AT 5:12 TOMOROW MORNING)....
BUT THE NIGHT WAS A WINTER ONE ALRIGHT!
WE AT KMAQ AND THE THEATRE ALL LIKE CHRISTMAS...AND CHRISTMAS PARTIES!
