Holiday Potluck Brunch Party

It's time again for GreenGirls' annual Holiday Potluck Brunch Party. We hope you can join us. If you're there, it will be that much more fun!

This annual gathering is a great way to see old friends, make new ones, share good food and interesting conversation.

A White Elephant Gift Exchange goes like this:

You bring any old (wrapped but unlabeled) item you have laying around the house, or a very inexpensive/humorous trinket (extra points if it's green or environmentally friendly). We number it at the door. At 1pm we draw numbers and she who has #1 unwraps the first gift and shows it to everyone. Each successive participant, in the order determined from the drawing, can either 1) "steal" an already opened gift (if there's one they really like) or 2) be adventurous and go for a wrapped gift from the pile. If the participant chooses to steal, the person whose gift is stolen now repeats their turn and either 1) steals another person's gift (they cannot immediately steal back the gift that was just stolen from them) or 2) unwraps a new gift.

Since items can be stolen, the item in your possession is not yours until the gift is "safe" -- or stolen twice. This helps the process go more smoothly (avoiding, for example, the hypothetical scenario of the same gift being stolen by every successive participant) and limits the disadvantage of being among the first to choose gifts. The gal who picked first also has the option of picking any "safe" gift or keeping the gift already in hand.

*If the weather is nice, we will go up to the roof at 1pm for the gift exchange part of the party.
