Our hosts for the evening, Commonwealth Morris Men, began the
processional, followed by Banbury Cross Morris (center) and Orion Sword.
The Master of Ceremonies.
Banbury Cross performed a couple of Cotswold morris dances, one
set to a medley of Christmas carols played by our Nathaniely dressed, er,
nattily dressed fiddler (below left).
The robust voices of Commonwealth.
A poem for the season, read by Angela.
Commonwealth's wardrobe might've gone south, but not their border morris dancing. The evening ended with the singing of a good old-fashioned wassail
song (which one was it, now, Rick?). 
Orion debuted
a dance in honor of the maker of their new set of swords (left and center),
and later performed their classic "North Shirley Volunteers."
Thespians to a, um, man, Commonwealth presented a semi-traditional
mummer's play, climaxing with the fall and rise of George Washingmachine (right).
