How about a little Christmas cheer?

Anyone interested in a family ornament exchange? they can be handmade, bought, whatever..... we could exchange them on Christmas Eve.....

I'm SO for that! Very cool idea!

Sounds simple enough... I think we need something that will cause more of an internal struggle and weeks of gossip on the forum...

Are we talking one ornament per family??

The last ornament exchange i went to did it like this...

Everyone brings one ornament that has been wrapped.
People draw numbers, the person with number one picks a package first and holds on to it. Number 2 then chooses one of the remaining packages then decide to change it with number 1's...then you keep going down the numbers....

Did that make any sense?

Yes, it's like the gift exchange that a lot of people do at Christmas...usually with gag gifts though.

My MIL has a very special term for this type of gift exchange.....one which caused great amounts of laughter at her expense.

I was thinking it would be more like the cookie party idea.... you know, find out how many families want to be involved and then bring that many...

Jess it would only turn into an internal struggle/gossip if we said that we were going to do it at Amanda's and B.'s!

We have a new car now that we really like spending time in so we're up for long trips.... we'd just prefer them to be overnighter's sometimes.
