Your Organizers Glen & Elise are hosting. We would like to invite you to our home for our 2nd Annual Holiday Ornament Gift Exchange. Everyone should bring a heavy hors d'oeuvres or finger foods to share as beverage of your choice. We will provide a holiday punch and all the paper goods.

This event will be attended also by the Raleigh & Traingle Activities Meetup Group. See who's coming: http://friends.meetup.com/435/calendar/8808586/

Christmas Ornament Gift Exchange:
Please plan on bringing an ornament with you for the exchange not to exceed $10.00
All ornaments should be wrapped (and may we suggest you make yours look extra special).
Rules to the Ornament Event:
Each person selects a number from a basket to determine the order in which everyone gets to select an ornament. Number 1 goes first and gets to select and unwrap an ornament. Everyone oohs and aahs or mentally thinks “Boy, I’m glad I didn’t select that one!”
Number 2 may take Number 1’s ornament or they may select a ornament from the table. If they take Number 1’s ornament, Number 1 gets to select again from the table. After they have finished their turn, Number 3 gets to select. Once again, they may select any opened or unopened ornament. Each time an ornament is taken away from someone, that person gets to select again. They may select any ornament except the one that was just taken away from them. They may however, have the opportunity to select it again later. Some ornaments are occasionally more popular and may get stolen several times. The fourth person to possess it gets to keep it. The ornament is then considered frozen. At the end of the game, Number 1 gets to select again, and take any ornament if they want to, but they don’t have to. The only ornaments they can’t take are those that are frozen. Don’t be afraid to take an ornament from someone. The more takeaways and turnovers there are, the more fun the game is! Some of the best times have been when a particular ornament gets taken several times. There are always lots of laughs and sometimes ornaments get taken just for the fun of it. Some people don’t care about the ornaments as much as having fun stirring things up! And after the game is over, if you and someone else wants to trade ornaments, that’s O.K. too!
