This is a time to get together with friends, have great food, drink some eggnog, and have some good conversation. There will be an FSM Gift Exchange (see below), potluck, and lots of good cheer.

Do not bring STEM gifts to the event. Save them for next year.

This is a private residence in Oviedo. The address and instructions for parking will be sent to you via email by Meetup. Please check that before you ask us to send the location to you directly. It will save us time. If you aren't getting emails from Meetup, here is where you can correct that so you don't miss important notifications about events you are attending.

* **No pets, please.**
* Children are welcome, but there is no dedicated area for kids.
* Bring "stiffer drinks" for yourself or to share; we'll have coolers.
* Street parking will be available. Instructions will be provided.
* You must RSVP if you want to get event updates.
* If rain is forecast, this event may be cancelled or postponed.

The FSM Gift Exchange:

1. Arrive before 7 PM. If you arrive after 7 PM, you will be too late.
2. You must be present and in the game until it ends (usu. 90 min or less)
3. Your entry requires a WRAPPED gift valued from $10 to $25 (no more).
4. Each player is assigned a number when they drop off their WRAPPED gift valued from $10 to $25 (no more).
5. Numbers are randomly drawn and the first player selects a gift, opens it, shows it to everyone.
6. Play continues as each randomly drawn number allows a player to select either an unopened gift from the table OR they can "steal" another player's already opened gift from them.
7. If a player's gift is stolen the "robbed" player selects either an unopened gift OR steals another player's gift from them.
8. The pattern continues until all players have completed play and no further steals are desired by the final player.

RULES:

* The same gift may not be "stolen" by the person who was just "robbed."
* Each gift may only be stolen two times.

It is not as complicated as it sounds. It's a lot of fun and, for some, it becomes an opportunity for strategy.
