Post-Christmas Circle Christmas Party

Every year we scramble to find a December date for our circle Christmas party - the catch is that everyone must be able to attend. This was a much simpler endeavor when there were fewer of us. Now that we've grown in number, we've also grown out of December. The upside of a January Christmas is that we have one fewer obligation in December, but the downside is that Alice has already taken down her tree.

And so we gathered, bringing our secret pal gifts and our edible offerings. And we ate, and talked, and laughed. We tried to guess who our secret pals were and no one knew, so most voted for Jane. I picked Jane too and I was right!! I'd like to claim I knew for sure, but it was just a lucky guess!
