Volume LXV	By Edgar T. Penguin	December 2005

School Christmas Play the school will be giving a performance of Peter Pan on the 23rd of December, and several of our housemates and neighbors are involved. It is my understanding that Bubbles, Butterscotch, Sleepy, and Prissy will be playing Indians, while Susie is a mermaid, and Bioloski and Spotty are pirates. meanwhile, our very own Buster Thomas is helping with the sets, while Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom white have volunteered their time to help with the costumes! There are several other household members involved in various ways, so I hope to see everyone at the play! New Comedian We have a new resident comedian - none other than Sir-Laugh-a-Lot! While he is new to the game, he promises us that he has some very funny jokes planned for his shows, which he says are really more "practice sessions". "it's going to be great! It really is! here, let me give you a sample! Why did the chicken cross the road?" at this point he broke into a fit of laughter and I could not discover the punch line. I a sure, thought that he will be happy to try it again at his shows! Hope everyone comes and gives their support!	Merry Christmas! Picture by Tearful Teddy Christmas is Coming! Once again Christmas is on it's way, and it promises to be a fun packed month! There are goin to be several workshops this month, including Oinkers's "Male Your Own Ornament" workshop and Maria's "Make Your Own Wrapping paper" along with one by Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White to make Christmas stockings. Doggie is also planning a day of festive cookie and candy making to get everyone in the mood, while Sonnett and Easter are planning a Christmas concert. The Penguin Press would like to wish everyone Happy Holidays, and hopes to see many participants in all the activities this month! Holiday Celebrations This year we will be having Christmas ON Christmas Day, as a nice change from other years, Doggie will be making a dinner and is looking for assistants. Christmas Eve night we will be having a party with The Bears Next Door, the two houses combining efforts for the food and games, it promises to be a lot of fun. There will also be an inter-house New Year's Eve party as well, so get ready to stay up late and enjoy some classic movies! All in all it is going to be a month for celebrations - hope to see everyone turn out for them!	Boat Race Tearful Teddy is the champion of the last boat race of the year! Boo Boo came in at second place, While Taylor came in third. The weather was very cold, but it was a clear day and we had no precipitation, so it was a perfect day for a boat race. Also, a special thank you to everyone who helped with Algae removal, without your efforts there would never have been any race at all! Thanksgiving Dinner An Improvement This year's Thanksgiving Dinner was a definite improvement over last years! Doggie cooked a delicious dinner, aided by his assistants Moos and yours truly. Together they pulled off quite a masterpiece. This year we went back to a traditional thanksgiving dinner, and Doggie refused to alter the menu for anyone, though Spud did try. Hopefully this marks a trend for the future! Upcoming Sled Race This month there will be a sled race on the third! It has been decided that the race will happen whether there is any snow or not, so it might get quite interesting! Everyone who has a sled is encouraged to participate - though it is not a team race, so each entrant must have their own sled. Hope to see everyone there!
