Genesis Christmas banquet was loads of fun. It was an airplane/flight theme, with us starting out lining up with our boarding passes, signing in, and getting assigned seats. I was starving though, and by the time it started, we were given really small salads to start with, so I went to some of the vacant tables and grabbed other peoples' salads (for the people who never showed). I ended up eating 3 salads before the main course finally arrived. During the salads, we sang Christmas carols.

The main course consisted of chicken, mashed potatoes, and vegetables (from frozen - carrots, corn, peas, beans). It was pretty good, except for the chicken which was hard as rock. Some of the other people at my table had really good chicken though. I guess I was just unlucky.

After the main course, or, around the middle of it as I was trying to chew through my chicken as quick as I could, the captain asked us to check under our seats for the barf bag. Inside each bag was instructions, for a murder-mystery game.

The game was pretty fun. They got everyone involved, which is like 40-50 people, so it was pretty well organized. Certain people were given longer lines than others. It was set up, I mean, you were assigned seats, so they knew who would get longer lines and who wouldn't have to do anything. I'm glad. Because I got nothing, so that was great. All I had to do was wear a flowery scarf, and act like a rich woman who didn't know what was going on. There was one person per table that would approximately the same roles, just with different lines. It was pretty entertaining, especially with some of the lines. Like for instance, the murder victim was a girl, but in the scripts, the victim kept being referred to as "he" or "him". So the actors kept having to change it, which was pretty funny.

In the end of it all, the story moved towards the mother of the victim being willing to forgive the murderer, just as God forgave us for our sins.
