Always a fun time in the park around the Holidays and our annual Hot Buttered Rum Gift Exchange is one of the best!
The evening starts out with a "Happy Hour" at 4:00pm - then a Chili Dinner at 5:00pm and the gift exchange at 6:00 which goes well into the evening...Lots of kodak moments!
Ben and Jim served as our resident "Mixologists"
Nice to have our Activity Directors back - welcome Pat and John!
The girls had their way with Santa Ben!
Jim also had the girls attention - the ones with the rum wins!
Mix another one Jim...
Plenty of fun at the tables of friends!
Time for Chili!
Plenty of gifts on the table!
Our gift exchange is unique - everyone brings a gift with a $10.00 max and labels unisex, male or female and their name goes in a hat. First name is drawn and they get to pick a gift and choose the next name. The next person has the option of choosing one of the gifts that has already been opened or a new gift. So the good gifts get moved around the room much to the dismay of the original opener.
LOTS OF FUN!
Who says Christmas is for Kids?? We had a large crowd...
First Steal...
Great fun opening gifts...
Always special when someone gets one of Bert's homemade golf club "Road Runners" - sure to be traded!
There was a huge assortment of gifts - from tools to kitchen knives to wine and various liquors!
Stay tuned for more Holiday Fun - busy week coming up!
