Some Christmas parties are more cheerful than others. The Phillips 66 Christmas celebration for Chateau du Lac residents scored high and here's why. Elvis and good energy were in the building. Granted, it was Elvis's jumpsuit era, but he kept the atmosphere alive. The songs include holiday classics and Elvis' greatest hits. He had the right voice, the sparkly jumpsuit and the perfect hair for it.

Hes Dennis Soileau, a retiree from Phillips 66 whose hobby is impersonating Elvis, said Megan Hartman of Phillips 66.

Perhaps it was Elvis' rendition of Hound Dog that reminded Chateau du Lac residents Horace Celestie and Gary Broussard of their favorite Christmas presents when boys were puppies. Broussard taught him how to run rabbits.

Elvis had the students from LaGrange Performing Arts perform background vocals for one song, but they were slow to follow his dance moves. It doesn't matter, they weren't there to dance. They were there to sing Christmas carols, which they did beautifully as the residents dined on food that received high ratings from four residents interviewed. Phillips served 200 meals.

Broussard said the traditional holiday meal was tasty, although perhaps not as tasty as Mom's, but Mom was away.

Carmen Doucet gave it high marks and would have given it higher if it included rice dressing. That's the dish that turns a holiday into a holiday meal in her eyes. Celestie said the food was as good as anything he's ever had because he could taste the love.

Sure, Santa Claus was at the party, but the crossbody bags that are easy to carry for men and women with limited mobility were from Phillips 66.

We have a gift for everyone, said Betty Bishop of Phillips 66. Plus, we were going to give away some special raffle prizes. (Betty liked the foot massager, magnetic dartboard, and miniature table tennis the best of all the raffle prizes, and she was curious to see if residents would feel the same way.)

Chateau du Lac resident Jimmie Thompson remembers her childhood feeling appreciation for the apples and oranges she received.

Phillips 66 had more than 30 volunteers who made the party a success. Men and women delivered lunches to the rooms of residents who could not come downstairs to eat.

Paul LaFleur, maintenance manager for Phillips 66, said he wasn't there to make Christmas more exciting for Chateau du Lac residents. He was there because it made Christmas more exciting for him.

Several Phillips 66 volunteers wore T-shirts with the words Good Energy on the front.

That's the slogan of the company's volunteer program. Overall, the program seeks to inspire employees to serve in their communities.

Good Energy was more than a slogan at Chateau du Lac on Wednesday. It was a good energy that most residents picked up on and put a smile on many faces, as good a Christmas gift for many as a crossbody bag and the perfect antidote to Blue Christmas.
