We’ve all been there: unwrapping a gift to be utterly disappointed by its contents. While you plaster on a smile to spare your friend or loved one’s feelings, you are left asking yourself the dismal question, “What am I going to do with this?” Well, the annual re-gifting party is your opportunity to kick off the New Year and have fun pawning off that “white elephant” on someone else.
Here is how it works: Everyone brings that “white elephant,” wrapped, and we will exchange them with each other. When it is your turn to select, you can either choose a “new” gift or steal one from someone who has already chosen. The person who is stolen from can then choose a “new” regift or take someone else’s (except the one that was just taken from them). A gift can only be stolen twice. Everyone is welcome to attend this awesome party!
Art and Viet have once again invited us to their home in El Sobrante for an evening of fun to begin the New Year. We are asking everyone attending to bring their favorite main dish, side dish, dessert, or salad to share. The kitchen will be available for food preparation and reheating, as needed. Couples are reminded to bring a double-portion dish or two dishes.
Last Name starts with A-I: Salads, side dishes
Last Name starts with J-R: Main Dishes
Last Name starts with S-Z: Desserts
We will provide plates, cups, cutlery, napkins, ice, and non-alcoholic beverages. Feel free to bring wine or any other alcoholic beverage for yourself or to share.
