CCG 2008 - Holiday Get Together and Gift Exchange

[Volund Starfire]

This might sound rather blasphemous....

But, what about a New Years Eve get together...

We could exchange gifts then also and celebrate the New Year as a unified Base/Garrison.

Not trying to steal thunder from anyone, but it might work better with everyone's schedule.

[sigmarue]

What, and have Sigma miss out on all the fun???

XD I appreciate it Bill, but I understand it's hard to cater to everyone's schedule.

I like Jason's idea since I'll actually be around then, all blasphemy aside.

You know me, always have got to be the thorn in the collective side. I don't do the holidays, I pretty much despise them. It is just simply better for me to sit out parties rather than bring my damper mood to them.

I am more likely to make an appearance for New Year's, provided I am not picking up an extra shift somewhere - I'd rather made money on the holidays than be non-productive elsewhere. Personally, I wouldn't mind having a New Year's get-together. But not if there is a gift exchange.

Gift exchanges tend to make me uncomfortable. One of the reasons why I avoid celebrating holidays.

But that is just me. Don't let me spoil the mood for the rest of you pagans!

I like the idea of a get together before Christmas. We get bummed that we miss game nights and other activities because of our distance from portland. Like Allan said the 1st or 2nd weekend would work for us. Gift exchange sounds great although 20$ might be too much for some families who might have more than one person participating. New years eve would be fun... why not do both Although i dont know if we could make it. I think it would alot of fun..always a good time when we hang out with the gang.

Sooooo, getting this back on track... when do we want to do this? Unfortunately, there just can't be a date that works for everyone (probably). Let's set a date the the most amount of  people are able to attend. I'd really like to see us start a yearly tradition with this!

I am good for what ever date.  $10 limit is the best for me.  I am poor, white boy!

i vote for $10 limit on buying an item or grab something that you have laying around even if it is over $10

Shoot out a date, i think i'm staying the area for christmas this year so i can make it any week.
