At 8pm, participants can start building cookie platters from all of the wonderful contributions to take home (recommend bringing some kind of storage container/cookie tin)! Any extras can be shared with the party. 🍪 UGLY SWEATER CONTEST: Wear your most outrageous ugly sweater! Vote for your favorite by submitting the wearer’s name and we’ll announce a winner on our page the following day. 🏆 WHITE ELEPHANT GIFT EXCHANGE: 🎁 Each participant brings one wrapped gift to contribute to a common pool. Gifts must be new and not used, between $20-25 in value. Please refrain from religiously-affiliated or kid-focused gifts. Participants will draw numbers to determine what order they will go in (lowest number starts). The first player selects a gift and opens it, and then following players can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool or steal a previous player's gift. Anyone who gets their gift stolen in this way can do the same - choose a new gift or steal another. Once a gift has been stolen three times, it is no longer in play. No trades allowed *during* the game, but what you do after is up to you! 🎁 **PLEASE NOTE** We will not be offering refunds on tickets purchased for this event if the attendee is no longer able to attend. The attendee will be responsible for finding another member to take their ticket or will forfeit the money spent for non-attendance. Thank you for understanding!
