There was so much to choose from: sushi, a charcuterie board, salmon mousse, beef sandwiches with au jus, pot stickers, pasta, and, of course, cookies!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Out of all of the food, what was your favorite?<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I have a sweet tooth, and dessert is always my favorite! I liked that you could decorate your own cookies or try a variety of ready-made ones.<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Would you recommend the party to those who didn\u2019t attend this year? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yes! It was a great way to see people I don\u2019t normally see and again, eat great food! One piece of advice, however, try not to get too close to the canned heat under the food pans \u2013 you could get burned!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>What is your favorite part about this time of year? <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Aside from the food, of course, I love that it is a time when people come together and just celebrate being with each other. I also like snow, even though it tends not to agree with my body type.<\/p>\n<p>Tiberius also wanted to take the time to say Happy Holidays to the MCC community with his very own holiday card!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1821\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1821\" class=\"wp-image-1821 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/sites.monroecc.edu\/news\/files\/2024\/12\/Tiberius-Photo-Holiday-Card--300x240.jpg\" alt=\"Holiday photo card with text: Happy Holidays!
