Hi everyone! After making some phone calls over the weekend, I think we are set on having the family Christmas party on Monday, Dec. 26. So, please plan on that and hope for just the right amount of snow to make it pretty but not limit travel so everyone can get there!
We are on for another year of White Elephant. Melissa tells me that Owls are now back in style, so I expect we could see those resurface this year! I was asked whether we could raise the White Elephant purchase limit to $30. Here's what I think about that: The White Elephant is a crap shoot. What makes it fun is that you never know what you are going to get. So, if someone sees something they want to purchase for $30 for the White Elephant, well, that is totally their choice. At the same time, if someone wants to wrap up something out of the garage, that is also perfectly acceptable! Again, that's why it is so fun.
For the kids' drawing, Kade helped pull names out of a hat. Here's where we landed: Dave and Melissa - Bella; Bobbie and Kevin - Emma; Terry and Tammy - Adelyn; Jill and David - Kade; Jeannie and Jason - Jacob; and Mom and Dad - Alex. The other kids are once again all in the White Elephant. If anyone has any issues with how this ended up, let me know!
Ok, that's it for tonight's Christmas update. Hope you all are doing well and have the turkey out to thaw for the Thanksgiving holiday. If I don't talk to you before then, have a great and safe Thanksgiving. I am thankful for all of you!
