Local mission residents gathered to celebrate the glory of Christ late December 25th. Trenton Davies, 31, attended the event after a facebook event notified him that Marcie Graves, 22, was attending.

”I was surprised, it's entirely different social circles. I only met Trenton once at a bar in the Marina”, says Graves. “I have to admit, when I added him as a friend, I was pretty drunk.”

Trenton arrived to the dinner fourty five minutes late, shortly after everyone sat down to eat. He had brought a bottle of Delicato Merlot, which he opened in the hallway. He asked everyone what was “sup” and sat himself at a place reserved for Thomas Hanes, who had excused himself to use the restroom. When he returned he found Trenton at his seat, filling his wine into Hanes' glass.

“I didn't know what to think. I assume he just made a mistake. It wasn't till later that I found out he was a jackass,” said Hanes.

Dinner conversation was sparse. Trenton was sitting uncomfortably close to Graves when he asked, “so seriously, we should hang out, you know?”

After being rejected by Graves, Trenton turned to the group of single, male members of the party for support located in the kitchen.

Tensions eased when a mutual interest was shared: shots of Jameson whiskey. One man in a Mission themed t-shirt was heard to say, “..and that is the true meaning of Christmas or whatever.”
