Christmas G2G **updated**

Ok girls, its the beginning of november and there isnt much time left before the holiday rush hits!!! I know a bunch of us wanted to get together around xmas and have a bit of a holiday thing, maybe exchange ornaments, secret santa, things like that...
So, I am thinking December 14th. Its a sunday, not too close to christmas time but not too far ahead...How does that sound? Anyone have any idea of a place we can have it at? We could always do the good old Dave and Busters or we could find somewhere else to go!! I
OR
we could do an evening thing, maybe December 13th? Go out for drinks and just hang out, relax before all the craziness really hits hard!!
Opinions??!!

ETA: Ok seems decmeber 14th wins!! Any idea for places? (Lets not forget our people ALL the way out on the east end of LI when we decide lol!!)

**UPDATED**: Ok girls, decision is made lol
December 14th Sunday
Grand Luxe Cafe
Time to be announced when it gets closer
**If you would like to do dirty santa, bring a $15 gift with you (can be anything from food to naughty things, use your imagination ) Who ever brings a gift will particiapte in the game!!

Love you all lots, I will post an official attendance list more towards the beginning of December that way everyone has plenty of time to plan!!

that sounds like a great idea!!

we could play 'dirty santa' where everyone brings a gift (it could be a limit of $10-20 whatever we decide), puts it in the middle of the table... then we all pick numbers out of a hat and whoever has #1 goes first, picks a gift from the pile... the next person goes and can decide whether or not they want to steal that persons gift or choose another one from the pile.. and so forth.. you can steal gifts up to 3 times before its considered 'dead'. Its a lot of fun, i played this with my old co workers all the time for our holiday parties!

Either of those dates sound fine w/ me, we just gotta pick a place!

this sounds so fun!! i think we should just mail the ornaments because not everyone participating will be able to make the g2g.
the 13th is a no go for me.. its our 4 year anniversary

i TOTALLYYY WANT TO PLAY THIS LOL...
dec 13 is a no go though its the Westbury Manor girls g2g.... unless u wanna combine it?> lol

Dec 14th is good for me. Or the 13th is fine too.

Love the dirty santa idea. Don't know about the fixed menu thing. I am pretty tight for cash.

haha! Doesnt matter to me. Usually when we have the g2g we do separate checks, this way everyone can spend what they want.

But if everyone wants to do something like a pre-fix dinner, then thats fine.

does it have to be a restaurant?
maybe a coffee place or a tea place might be less costly or a snack place haha

OR a movie date? ice skating? lots of other things to do no? or bowling!?!

ooo what about milk and sugar cafe

and the have psychic nights...

Milk and Sugar sounds like a really good idea!!!

What about doing a comedy club on a sunday night?

check out the shower package... for a christmas party g2g...

I'm thinking that doing a prixe fixe thing might be tough to do...some people have more money to do it than others and it might make people not come...We usually get seperate checks that way everyone spends what they can and no one needs to know...Plus sometimes when we go not everybody eats as much as others!! You cant tell someone you need to eat three courses when all they normally take is three bites!! lol

lol... i guess i was trying to turn it into a christmas party lol not christmas g2g...

yeah i would say governers would be nice...

or coffee too!

I have a good idea!!! What about if we find a place but we each bring a food dish and just munch??? Kind of like pot luck - it won't cost anyone anything. We need to find a place where we can bring our own food - Or someone volunteers their home.

If everyone likes this idea, I'll volunteer my parents home...haha!
