The lunch was catered by Tim Hortons so we had soup, sandwich, juice , cookies and coffee on a sort of all you can eat basis.
And there was appropriate music. There was as seniors jug band which played Christmas tunes and popular tunes from "a while ago." A young guy played guitar and sang, seasonal tunes and other great tunes like Four Strong Winds. A very popular older country and western entertainer played and sang.
So it was a good time and with the music you could have hung around most of the afternoon.
Now when Mr Introvert says he enjoyed it , it had to be good. Mr Introvert would rather be visiting in a small group or out in the bush wandering around. I have been dragged kicking and screaming to this event before but today I honestly enjoyed it. The only downer was that the micro manager didn't get there in time to get her coupon for a free picture with Santa!!!
Next year I'll make sure I take my camera!
There's nothing like live music, even if you don't get your picture taken with Santa.
ReplyDeleteLive and local music!
DeleteI know about introverts. ;-)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time.No mall here in the big cities would host such a lunch.
I have to give this mall credit. No other mall does this.
DeleteSo glad to hear you had a good time Red, sounds like fun and something I could easily get into... but I'm far from being an introvert as you well know! lol
ReplyDeleteYa, you'd be the one up dancing!!!
DeleteOh my gosh... Snow...
ReplyDeleteThis really sounds like a lot of fun. I'd definitely have gone. I'm an introvert too.
Most introverts learn to function quite well as time goes on.
DeleteI think it's wonderful that so many people, from so many different places can all come together to make something like this possible. In this day and age it would be so very easy not to bother, and then where would we be? I am a bit of an introvert myself. I think it comes from working mostly on my own for forty years. Glad you enjoyed it Red, it sounds great.
ReplyDelete... or did you choose you work because you were an introvert?? By the way , we're the best people.
DeleteGlad you enjoyed your outing. I am a bit of introvert too though most people who know me would never believe it! I have to put out a lot of energy to acted extroverted, lol. Sometimes it is worth and I have a lot of fun. I find the older I get I have absolutely no problem being social and verbal even amongst complete strangers. I'm glad for that because it makes outings much more enjoyable. Even so there are some days I like to be alone and recharge. Your snow picture is lovely and I hope the rest of December is very nice for you.
ReplyDeleteMost introverts learn to function very well. Eleanor Roosevelt was an introvert and we all know what happened to her.
DeleteIt sounds wonderful. I always enjoy thinking about living in a place like yours, a small town where everybody knows everybody else. :-)
ReplyDeleteWell, this place is too big for that ,but we are able to have a wide number of contacts.
DeleteI love your snow! It makes December real and true.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you in the introvert department. You take care, happy trails to you!
We have just the right amount of snow for now.
DeleteFree food and live music even introverts should like that kind of day! I am glad you went! :)
ReplyDeleteWhen I get there i enjoy myself.
DeleteI don't think my mall ever does anything like that
ReplyDeleteProbably very few malls do anything like this.
DeleteHi Red, Sounds like a good time. Wonder what kind of sandwich the Introvert enjoyed? :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what the sandwich was but the cookie was definitely chocolate chip.
DeleteThis is wonderful. Such a nice thing to do. Being an introvert, I'm sometimes dragged to things kicking and screaming, but this is something I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI enjoy it when I get there.
DeleteIt certainly sounds like you enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteIt's just the going there that is the challenge.
DeleteNow that sounds like a great evening. Being the introvert I have to be coaxed like the circus performer being shot out of a cannon :)
ReplyDeleteMan, I think most of us bloggers claim to be introverts.
DeleteDid you get your pic with the jolly elf?
ReplyDeleteNo ticket, no picture. My wife is the one who gets the Santa photo.
DeleteSounds like a good time!
ReplyDeleteYou are never too old for Santa Clause.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun! Free food and good music is a treat. You are looking very Christmasy with your lights and pretty snow. Have a good weekend!
ReplyDeleteThat's really nice someone puts on a lunch for the seniors. Sounds like the entertainment was top notch! As far as the Santa photo, there's always next year. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your blog. I put you on my blog this Morning. To let others .To drop in and read yours. Your blog is very interesting.
ReplyDeleteOn my blog is a Christmas Santa Party. Not sure if will be music. I hope so.
Sounds like a good time. I hate your wife missed the picture with Santa.
ReplyDeleteglad you enjoyed it! i can relate to the introvert tendencies. :)
