Two Facts One Lie

No matter how hard I try I never seem to be able to get out of the office before 6 pm. Stopped by Target and TJMaxx. Didn’t find a tacky Christmas t-shirt but did find a Star Wars Chewbacca jumpsuit.

Arrived fashionably late to our Sunday School Christmas party – but everyone else had arrived on time and were finishing up their meal. Later on we played Two Fact One Lie, then sang Christmas carols and shared prayer requests.

After playing “Two Facts, One Lie” last night, I learned I need to be better prepared. Here are some amazing facts and lies:
