So since everyone seems to be around a lot today (and J will be around tonight, I'm sure!!).

I know it's early, but let's start brainstorming for our Xmas g2g. We've done cookies...we've done ornaments...

I'm not really full of ideas. We could do small gifts, or gag gifts, or....

    At work we used to play that White Elephant game. http://www.santalady.com/xmasgame/whiteelephant.html

    That's the only idea I have lol.

    Hmm...I actually really liked the ornament exchange.  Perhaps because the ornament I got totally kicks ass!  Thanks again, @amcourt09!

    Something like a White Elephant could be fun!  I think I would prefer for the gifts to all be something people would actually want, though.  The gag gift thing is funny...until you take yours home and have no idea what to do with it.  Just my opinion, though.

    I agree J! I'd be up for another ornament exchange, or the white elephant with GOOD gifts....

    I was just kind if quickly pinning and not really reading the descriptions lol, but I just noticed that Wrapple game wants like $6 or $7 to download the template. I'll check online to see if I can get it somewhere else for free, if not at least we have the rules of it and can maybe make our own. I'll let you guys know what I find.

    Ok, that would be great! I've looked everywhere and it seems that website is the only one with the game.

    The 'problem' with making our own is we know too many secrets- this could be baaaaad >:)

    I will say that i'm sure I'll have a glass of wine here and there throughout my pregnancy, but i'm currently not interested AT ALL.
