I updated the OP and I am sending out PMs to the people listed as attending. If you are not on the list and still want to come, no sweat just let me know. We like to give the Restaurant a heads up on how many. I wil probably call today and reserve the back room. Its nice to give them an estimated head count so when 40 people walk in, they don't flip out! Those of us who have worked the service industry appriciate that!
Please check the PM and confirm and let me know how many people you will have total... you plus whatever. Please dont say 2... I am a simpleton and I will wonder... is it them +2 .... 2 total
For example it will be Kris and I... so 2 total.
IDEA:
I freakin love Christmas... I know sayong Christmas isn't really PC anymore but whatever, if I offended anyone with the mention of Christ, I am sorry... So to attempt to be more PC, I am changing the event to a Camaromas Party... Only the blue oval folks will be offended by that...
Seems last year Randy had some gifts to pass out and that was fun. He says no free-bies this year but that got me thinking. Kris and I used to have a Jeep Wrangler and belonged to an Off-Roading club... side story... I got the Camaro on one of the meeting nights so it was brand spankin new. Took it to the meeting and one guy was like huh... should have got a Challenger. I had a few smart a$$ comments then we left the club. Sold the Jeep a few months later... ok back on topic now... At the Clubs Christmas party, there was a small gift exchange and it was a blast.
Here is my idea and it will also be in the PM:
-Everyone brings a small (less than $10 value) wrapped gift. The gift MUST be car related in some way. Doesn't have to be Camaro, that would just be a bonus. Do not mark your name on the gift.
-Everyone puts the gifts on a table when they arrive.
-After we order... since it usually takes a LOOOONG time to get the food, we will start the exchange.
-I still havent figured out how to pick the order but I will. Basically first person picked, selects a gift and opens it and sets it in front of them. Next person picks a wrapped gift and before openning it either trades with someone or takes their chances on the the wrapped one.
-Only real rule is a gift can only be "traded" 3 times. Once the third person gets it, its theirs!
Make sense? I am sure eveyone has played this before. Kris was asking me if everyone brings a gift or just groups... thats your call. For example her and I will BOTH bring one so we both get to play.
THOUGHTS?
