TVHA CHRISTMAS PARTY REMINDER

Egg Nog

When:
Saturday, December 12, 2009

Time:
7pm until ???

Location:
Casa JIMI
24016 Jonquil Circle
Murrieta, CA 92562
[951] 858-3862

Directions:
From the 15 Freeway North, exit California Oaks Road (Kalmia Street) and turn Left (heading West).
Go about 3 signal lights (roughly 1/4 mile) to Jefferson Street & turn right (North).
Go exactly One mile (give or take a few feet) to the Stop Sign which is Magnolia Street and turn Right.
Immediately turn Right again into Jonquil Circle and it will be the 2nd house on the left hand side. There will be considerably less lights than Eric’s house, but it should still be easy to find.

Since my street is a cul-de-sac, it may be necessary to park on Magnolia. Feel free to double stack parking in my driveway & into the street if you can. The neighbors don’t mind so long as we don’t block them in.

This will be a “potluck” & “corny-luck” party. Bring food, deserts, dips, drinks, whatever, to share.

There will also be a voluntary “White Elephant” gift exchange game. There is no real dollar limit if you want to participate, just use your own best judgment. Let’s just try to stay away from the “joke” gifts. No one really wants to go home with a sack of potatoes if they brought a really cool gift like a bottle of Black Tuesday or something.

The rules to the Gift Exchange Game are really easy & we will go over them that night. Simplified, if you bring a gift, you’ll go home with a gift. A gift is chosen, then can be “stolen” twice more. Its Third Owner is safe with it and it cannot be stolen again.

There will also be a “Homebrew Competition”. Bring a bottle (or as many as you want) plus $2 per bottle. There will be no first, second or third places...just best of show. This is a “Winner Take All” contest. All entry monies will be given to the winner. We will also need a few judges for this that DON’T have a beer in the competition. If you think that this will be you, please contact me right away.

That’s about all that I can think of right now. However, if you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

Merry Christmas,
JIMI

Stockings & Puff Paint

Oops, I almost forgot, remember that this is a Kid friendly Family party, so bring'em if ya got'em.

I will also have an assortment of blank Christmas stockings, puff paints, glue, glitter, nic-nacs, etc laid out so the Kids (and Kids at heart) can make a personalized Christmas stocking to use at home.

I do this every year for my own Kids, Nephews, Nieces and my Friend's Kids. I started this in 2001 & it's become a tradition for me every year since then.
