| The 2023 Family Christmas party was held at the home of Nick and Freeda Miccio in Helendale, CA. The event was a huge success, there was an incredible amount of love, and the singing of the 12 Days of Christmas was never better. |

| Family Christmas Party 2020 The very first virtual Family Christmas Party was a success! There was a piñata, dice game, as well as the traditional singing of The 12 Days of Christmas. Special thanks to everyone who had a part in putting it together, especially Mike and Rebecca for being the "hosts". Here are links to what was created:

| The California Arguelles Family Christmas Party 2019, at the home of Mike and Rebecca Aguilar Dear family,
It is unfortunate that the Family Christmas Party had to be cancelled this year due to icy roads and freezing temperatures, but safety first is always a good rule to live by.
Since Paradise Lost nomads Ana and Becky had flown down for the party, Rebecca invited them over to our house for a get together since she didn't want the tamales to go to waste. They were staying with Rose so she decided to come over too. Sister Martha was in the neighborhood, so she joined us, and brought along her kids and grand kids. And Rebecca's side of our family is always up for a good time and family bonding, so before you know it, we had a Plan B ad hoc alternative emergency last minute impromptu Family Christmas Party (and talent show!) with most of our immediate family.
We didn't do the dice game or pinata, and not everybody got a present, but Rose led us in the 12 Days of Christmas to make the party count as the official 77th annual Family Christmas Party. Let's keep it going; I plan to be there for the 100th.
Rebecca and I, along with several of the cousins and friends will shortly be off for the Viking Rhine River cruise, and enjoying castles on the Rhine and Christmas Markets in northern Europe, and we hope you all have a very enjoyable holiday season with your friends and family. And in the immortal words of Tiny Tim, "A Merry Christmas to us all, and God bless us all, everyone."

| Family Christmas river cruise on the Rhine River, 2019 Cousins Mike, Rebecca, Joe, Ruth, Lucy, Nick, Kathy, Tony, Michael John and JoAnn enjoyed a Christmas cruise on the Rhine River. During the ship's Christmas party, the family sang the 12 Days of Christmas with dozens of their fellow shipmates. Cousin Mike Aguilar explained to the boat the history of our Family Christmas Party. You can see the video of the singing HERE, led by cousin Nick. |

| 2017 Family Christmas Party According to the family patriarch, Mike Aguilar, it was the 75th Family Christmas Party. Being the oldest, and 75 years old, we choose to believe him. It was a grand event, filled with food, music and laughter. Another testament to the value of family tradition. Thank you Mike and Rebecca.
