@mabrndt: Spot on with that observation..However, Mr. Melcher may have erred in his title for this. Looks like a good time is being had by some; if not most. Couldn’t figure out the kids in the painting along with the “ladies” in the sheer clothing. Might be a “house” with the unintended consequences thereof..Whatever the situation, I’m sure it beats the heck out of most holiday parties.
