Jenn and Michael graciously hosted our annual holiday party with Michigan friends. Every detail was amazing and we’re especially appreciative of Michael’s 21-hour effort on the brisket. Our potluck was a delicious success, even if everyone brought a shrimp dish.
Jenn decided the order for our white elephant gift exchange would be by birthday, outing all of those born before Watergate. It was again fairly tame gift exchange, except that Jenn often goes over the $40 limit by $2,000 with all her free Estée Lauder swag. It’s a good thing there wasn’t any La Mer in there or that could have caused a melee. The guys gifts are all equally desirable, including CBD, undies for two, and pre-owned graphic tees.
It’s always wonderful to celebrate the holidays with this crew. I think we’re all getting better with age. This has been one of the best years in memory to be a Wolverine, but we’re always luck to have such great friends from college. GO BLUE!
There was apparently a debate over how long this has been going on. It’s possible that we missed one or two when this started, but I have documentation going back to 2010. Who are those kids?
