Ghost parties

It’s not just right now, of course.

But because people do a lot of entertaining in their homes in December, we’re often reminded at this time of year of Christmas parties from years gone by.

You can review the highlights out loud, and laugh or groan. Or you can just sit and remember.

That’s where Dan stood and held court, just weeks before the accident.

Over there by the refrigerator, that’s where Bob and Susan met.

That’s where the mistletoe was hung.

And that’s where Anne was sitting when Whiskers came out from hiding and got right on her lap.

If you close your eyes and tune out everything else, you can almost hear the past.
