On Friday, December 6th, the Michigan gang (seven couples in all) gathered for a hopefully annual holiday dinner. We had a private room at Ozumo in San Francisco, which was perfect for our group. Thanks to Jud for organizing the date and the venue.
We also kept up with our white elephant gift exchange. There was a little confusion about the rules. Like last year, the ladies were to exchange with the ladies and the guys were to exchange with the guys. The ladies were to buy “nice” gifts and the guys were to buy “not nice” gifts. Some ladies bought not nice gifts and some guys brought nice gifts, like the prenatal pilates DVD I included. In any case, it made the game itself a little more challenging because the gifts were not equally good nor bad. There were definitely some keepers, but because many were not chosen until the end, there were few steals. I’m still amazed. no one tried to steal Grace’s zebra themed gift (shower cap, mask and slippers).
It’s nice to have so many college friends around. It’s also nice that we can talk about something other than football. We’ll have to rally for some hoops this winter! GO BLUE and Happy Holidays!
