It’s that time of year again- time to plan your Christmas dinner party. If you could have christmas dinner with any celebrity, who would it be? This is aside from your friends, Boyfriend/Girlfriend and family. It’s an age old question that can say a lot about who you are. But it gave me lots to think about, to start the ball rolling – Here’s the list of my invitees:
Queen Elizabeth

Barack H. Obama is the 44th President of the United States. His story is the American story — values from the heartland, a middle-class upbringing in a strong family, hard work and education as the means of getting ahead, and the conviction that a life so blessed should be lived in service to others.

Madonna became a legendary pop diva in the 1980s with her music, and has five Grammy Awards and a legendary number of album sales under her belt.

Oprah Winfrey came from a humble background to become one of America’s most influential women. Winfrey has amassed a great fortune through her media and publishing interests and uses her fame and wealth to positively influence the lives of people in need.
Born Orpah (after a character from the Bible) Winfrey on January 29, 1954 in Kosciusko, Mississippi – USA, but now goes by the name of Oprah. At a young age Winfrey’s parents separated and sent her to live with grandparents in very poor surroundings until the age of 6 when she moved to live with her mother. She was consequently se-xually mol-ested by male relatives at a young age and endured the hardship up until she was 14 when Winfrey moved to live with her father in Nashville Tennessee.
