December is time for our annual end of the year potluck. So on Thursday the 12th we will meet at the Unitarian Universalist congregation of Hillsborough at 1710 Old Nc 10 in Hillsborough at 6 pm to share food and memories of the last year.

Every year some of our members choose to bring gifts to share. In the past what we have done is to take the names of those who have brought gifts and draw them out of a hat randomly to pick from the gifts brought. This year I suggest we add a small twist by doing what is sometimes called a white elephant. Since our gifts are inexpensive, we suggest under $5, we can have fun and be a little silly. The way a white elephant works is that the first name drawn picks a gifts and opens it and is done. The second name drawn picks a gift and opens it but then gets to choose between his gift and the the gift first opened. He can then trade with the first person. Each person till the end can then choose from the gift they unwrapped or any of the previously unwrapped gifts.
If no one objects, I suggest we try it out this year. If you feel strongly against this, just email me and we will just unwrap gifts as usual.

I will send another reminder about the potluck next week. Please try to come this is a special night of fellowship and celebration and we would love to see all your shining faces there.
Thanks and Happy Holidays!
