Mass Holiday Party

[retro-man]

Hey Chuck and Rich is the holiday party still on for Jan 5th? I don't see the thread anymore and was wondering if it was still on? I couldn't respond earlier not knowing commitments and such but I have that weekend free. Hopefully its still a go and you have a swap table set up. Would be great to see all the guys again.

Oh yeah, it's still on! The thread probably dropped down off the listing.

As far as I know, there will be an adoption table again and a Yankee Swap for those who wish to participate!

Bobby-

 

Saturday 1/5

2pm - ?

potluck finger food

Yankee Swap (I think?)

Adoption table (I think?)

Looks like about 6-7 of us for breakfast the next morning

 

We'll have mulled cider, coffee (duh!), etc.  Haven't heard what people are bringing yet (I was hoping for Scott's x-hot wings again

  ), but I've made biscotti and will make sponge candy and surely something else.

 

Make 'em in a loaf...

...then cut 'em and re-bake so they're nice and crunchy and ready for dunking! These are the almond ones.

And, of course, a batch of anise. I usually do chocolate chip and vanilla, but stuck with the two more traditional ones this time.

Hi Rich & Chuck,

Biscotti looks amazing.
I seem to have some flu-like symptoms these last few days.
Trying to ward it off so I may have to pass on saturday. Hate to pass it around to others. If I feel better by tomorrow, I'll let you know.

Happy New Year to you both.

John

Thanks, John. Hope you're feeling better and that we get to see you! Carol will certainly miss you as well!

Thanks for another wonderful gathering. Had a great time as always. never a lack of conversation with this group. House was absolutley gorgeous. You guys never cease to amaze me with the Christmas decorations. Don't know where you find this stuff. Things I have never seen before. Incredible is the only way to describe it. Will upload pics tomorrow don't have my camera cable here. Or maybe I don't know how to "download pics." lol Again thanks Chuck and Rich for opening your home and hospitality to us all.

Dave and I wanted to thank Chuck and Rich for a wonderful afternoon and evening. We both had fun meeting the "gang" again. Thanks for the wonderful hospitality. We hope more people show up at the next gathering to enjoy the fun.

Well, it's official; the holidays are over for us since the last guest from the last party just left a couple of minutes ago.

Thanks to the folks who were able to make it- good food, good fun, singing, laughing (and laughing, and laughing!!!)..... And a special hello to those who couldn't make it 'cause they're hit with one of the many bugs that are making the rounds (achoo...). Hope you're feeling better!

Chuck and Rich

Glad everyone had fun! We are still sorry we had to miss it.

Now post some pix!

I was nice to see everyone, and thanks for a great weekend.

I missed it because my job love to work me to death.
If I did not have to work this past Sunday, I would have made it!
I hope everyone had a good time and safe travels to and from!!!

 

[earthling177]

Sorry we missed it! We always love your parties and I'm sure everyone had a lot of fun!!!

 

[perc-o-prince]

I finally found my camera!

Left it in the pants I was wearing last weekend, and it ended up in the pile of laundry. Thank goodness I didn't wash it!!

I didn't take as many pix as usual, but here they are. First is Jason, Brian and Matt.
