FCE Christmas Party

Last night was FCE's annual Christmas party. (FCE is the Foundation that I serve under here in Marghita.) It was a packed house - about 350 were there.
Because money is so tight they cut back on the courses for the meal. Which, I thought was a great idea and saved a lot of time and hassle as well. They had some fruit on the tables, brownies and crackers for the appetizers. Then we had a main meal of chicken, mashed potatoes and rice with little bits of veggies in it. Dessert was traditional Cozonac bread. (It wasn't my favorite type of Cozonac so I was a little bummed : ) Although I saved adding a couple of pounds by not eating a lot of it! Ha, ha ha.)

Everyone and their Mom shows up to this party each year. And, each project within FCE does something. I was supposed to do a song with the Casa Alba orphanage kids, as I did last year as well. The thing is that I felt the need to spice up the night a little bit. I mean, c'mon, everyone knows the Christmas carols already...right? So what did "Today Christ was Born" (Traditional Romanian Carol) morphe into?
That's right, a very wannabe rap song.
Annnnnnd, I was able to get a pair of sunglasses for each kid to wear as well.

Yup, and who was sitting at the very first table in front of the stage? The newly elected Mayor of Marghita and his close friends/family (I wouldn't know exactly).

I wish I had a picture to post but I was up front "rapping" it up with the kids!

Ohhhhh hilarious...
