MNGG - Christmas Bash - 12/23/11

Same as Thanksgiving we are inviting people over to our place for Christmas.

Date: Friday, 12/23/11
Time: 6:00 pm
Location: 434 Bernard St E, West St Paul

Details: Please bring a dish to share. Let me know if you have any questions.

We have several Gaming consoles and general car nutty-ness that goes on

****ATTENTION for Tim's announcement on Gift Exchange****

Alright so me and Joelle thought of an awesome idea!
Whoever is planning on coming to Erik and Joelle's house for the Christmas bash here, we will be doing a gift exchange between everyone who shows up...

Needs to be under $20 or can just be something that is around the house, asking that everyone please contribute something car related so nobody is left out!

What we'll be doing is drawing one card out of a deck. the highest card will go first and pick one random gift and we'll go lower from there.

In the case that two people have the same card, rock paper scissors will be determined best out of 3 between the card holders.

What we will do after everyone gets a gift, is have a second deck of cards, we'll draw again, whoever has highest card and wants to steal someone else's gift, can declare war and try to steal the gift from someone else. In this case, both recipients would draw a card from the stock pile, and the highest card wins. If the attacker wins, he/she can claim the other person's present. Alternatively, if the defender wins, no presents are exchanged.

Again, car related since we are a car club, and you don't have to bust your wallet to do so.

**disclaimer-- i am drinking, but totally serious about this

Ummm I am not sure if I get any time off this year QQ so we shall see what happens
