Well it’s that time of year again. We will be having our annual holiday party on 12/4/19 @7pm.
As many of you know our holiday party is not a normal meeting. This is a time to spend time together and share some beer. We will still have a pair of duels, herb beers and cold extraction beers. We won’t be doing organized tasting but please still bring beer to share, especially if you have anything fun that you’ve been holding onto. We will have a potluck as well so please bring a snack or dessert to share. And most importantly is the “wit” elephant gift exchange.
THE GREAT NORTH SEATTLE HOMEBREW WIT ELEPHANT:
Everyone who wishes to participate must contribute a gift, wrapped, bagged, or otherwise suitably obscured. The theme is broadly defined as "Beer and/or Homebrewing" so anything beer or homebrewing related is good. Got a good bottle or two in your cellar? Spare equipment (in good shape) you're not using? Something tasty from a bottle shop? Humorously shaped novelty-ware? Doesn't have to be expensive, but certainly feel free to try and impress others with your Roman-Emperor-like magnanimity if you'd like. Hail Caesar.
Someone will make little slips of paper equal to the number of gifts with written numbers. Everyone participating draws one.
On the first turn, the person with paper slip #1 chooses a gift, opens it, and all admire it. "Ohhhh! Ahhhh! It's everything I've ever wanted in life! Existence is meaningless without it!"
On the second turn, the guest with paper slip #2 gets the choice of "stealing" any unwrapped gift (i.e. #1's) or choosing a new wrapped one. If #2 steals #1's gift, then #1 must open a new wrapped gift. "Mine now." "FFFFFFUUUUUUU!!! Oooh shiny..."
On the third turn, the guest with paper slip #3 gets the choice of "stealing" any unwrapped gift (#1's or #2's) or choosing a wrapped one.
Hope to see you there!
