Join me to celebrate the December holidays.

**Potluck Dinner**
I will provide a main dish (announced a few weeks ahead of the event), sparkling wine, water, tea, and coffee, minimally. You bring an appetizer, side, or dessert. Please let me know what you will bring at least a week ahead of time so I can fill in as needed.

**The Gift Exchange**
This year, we are changing things up a bit. Instead of focusing exclusively on tree ornaments, we will expand the gift exchange to include more options. Ideas include:

* Something from your kitchen – Do you have a favorite holiday treat you make every year? Homemade treats examples are cookies (1+ dozen), candies (1+ dozen), mini-muffins (1+ dozen), regular- or plus-sized muffins (4-6), a cake (1), spiced nuts, etc. Items should not require refrigeration.
* There is no need to confine edibles to homemade items. If your favorite is one of those, feel free to choose something store-bought. The exception is alcohol – no wine or spirits, please.
* For non-edibles, select whatever strikes your fancy. Purchased items should stay within $10-$20. Gifts need not be holiday themed, but they could be if your heart is set on it.
* All gifts should be wrapped in a way that does not reveal the contents.

**The Exchange Game**
The exchange will happen just the way it always has. Each person will draw a number. Starting with guest number 1, she will choose a nicely-wrapped gift showing the opened item to all. Guests number 2-n can either “steal” an opened gift or select a wrapped gift which she opens and shows to all. After the last guest chooses a gift, guest number 1 will have a final chance to “steal” a gift. If she steals, then the guest whose gift was stolen can either accept the thief’s gift or exchange it for a host’s wrapped gift. No gift can be stolen more than twice.
