OK, I was tossing around 2 dates, Dec.4 and Dec. 18.
Dec. 4th seems to be the best as far as reservations and due to the fact that there are no big events on that day. (tikifille, I hope you can make it even late or early for drinks)
I've decided to meet at Bahooka. I'd love to do dinner and share some bowls with everyone either at a big table or in our own area. I'll need conformations so I can make the reservations.
I'll be starting a new thread so I can keep count. Please respond with # of people so I can keep count.
As far as kids go, it's fine. I'll leave that up to individuals. I plan on bringing my son because he's old enough not to need to be entertained, he loves Bahooka, and can actually help out.

We will be doing the gift swap. I want EVERYONE to participate.

Giving to charity is always a nice thing to do (not only during the holidays, all year) but I will leave that up to individuals, give to your church, charity of choice, or any one of a number of toy drives this season.

You can also feel you are doing your part while participating in the gift swap by purchasing your gift from one of the many thrift stores that give to charity. Or, better yet, support our own Tiki community by getting your gift from one of our own artists or business owners (Ocianic Arts, Tiki Farm, Bamboo Ben's, House of Tiki, etc.)

I'm setting the limit at $15-$20 value. With tiki or Hawaiian themed gifts preferred. I'm also a sucker for funny white elephants, (maybe that's just me) so if you find a good one wrap it up! I'd love to see home made gifts too! If you are really stumped for a gift, e-mail me. I have a few ideas.
