Christmas movies, Inner Photo Organizer and A Visit From St Nick - a great EarlyBird meeting

 TM Joe started us off with vivacious Christmas-related Table Topics. We

discovered that...

* TM Paolo has disconnected the tv for his progeny and instead, they
do family Table Topics around the tree. The 1-week-old newborn has
vivaciously wailed for the Disney Channel to be reinstated into the home.
* TM BeckyJo was completely taken aback at the notion that there is no
Santa Claus. All these years she has been trying to sell Santa on a board
game she invented and has not heard back. She will definitely approach
Matel.
* TM Marie proposed to her son the idea of giving a gift to his noisy
neighbors and received a grumpy grinchy resounding NO.
* I, TM Ana, recalled a boss who turned down my brilliant negotiation
approach of keeping my salary and benefits while slashing my workhours by
half to fulfill his wistful remark that he would pay me double if only he
could. He wasted a golden opportunity.
* TM Tom looks for a wonderful life ever since watching the movie of
the same name from the basement of his grandpa's home. He Won Best Table
Topics Award.

And along came prepared speeches, and oh, what amazing speeches we had -
it's all in the G family!

* TM Chris vivaciously displayed her multitasking inner child photo
organizer on the IPO Freudian Scale and introduced us to her Magic Attic,
where photos are date sorted by artificial intelligence. Piece of cake!
She Won Best Speaker Award.

* TM Jim surpassed his prior renditions of A Visit from St Nicholas,
with back visual images and a description of the origin of this 200-year-old
poem.

As for evaluations....

* DTM Mary Helen admired TM Chris's professional mastery which makes
organizing 25 million photos - in Chris's own words - "as easy as 1-2-3".
She Won Best Evaluator Award.
* TM Carmine thoroughly enjoyed TM Jim's rendition of A Visit From St
Nicholas, which he has heard before and wants to hear again and again.

Overall, aside from having a great time, we reached several profound
conclusions:

1) People just don't use enough adverbs
2) What's a selfie without a bomber?
3) It's imperative that we enunciate the ends of words
4) We all need to find our Magic Attic to store our shoeboxes.

The Word of the Day was

VIVACIOUS, adjective
