    • 5:00pm until 9:00pm
  • Never one for words, nor any good at expressing myself, how may I invite you to this annual holiday party? May we start with the vision?

    Somewhere in a distant place, a sleighbell rings.

    Its a relaxing evening surrounded by old friends, loved ones, and those whom you'd... like to love in the New Year, with both of our two ovens filled to the brim with a delightful assortment of cookies, wafting sweet fragrant jet streams of baked comfort across the crackling fireplace hearth and into cute-as-a-button noses nestled in the shoulder of a trim fellow or lady slow dancing to "I'll Be Home for Christmas," while on the television George Bailey decides that despite the bastardous nature of Mr. Potter perhaps it truly is indeed a wonderful life, and thats markedly without the homemade bourbon eggnog and other libations they didn't have in Bedford Falls but we here sit enjoying, and I promise you that between the sights, the scents, the feelings, the tantalizations, you being to wonder if its the flaming rum punch, the nostalgia or the vanilla cinnamon perfume that is luring you into a utterly, maleably at-ease, shamanistic holiday trance that, hand-in-Gingerbread-loving-hand, we will use as the setting, the backdrop, the preamble to our collective prayer for snow.

    Bring cookie baking ingredients, wine and/or that red dress. Bring guests. Bring .... wait, who is that I hear on the rooftop? (special appearances)

    Bake the winning cookies, and you shall indeed be awarded a prize and timeless glory. Drag someone beneath the mistletoe - we won't look.

    Be seeing you, and God bless us everyone.

  • I will bring the fixings for gluten-free cookies. We'll play the game of how much of the cookie can you eat before the whole thing crumbles to tiny pieces.

  • Well at this point, Aaron, I think my dance card will be filled. We'll just have to recruit more men - where's Ernesto?

  • Justin, if you say cookies, you're ASKING for mostly women to show up. If you say dancing, you'll get guys too. #O_o

    I am currently perfecting the art of being in two places at once while simultaneously studying for the GRE so I can be there.

  • I find it humorous that the majority of the people who "are" attending are women, while the majority who "maybe" attending are men ;)
