I know I’m new to the boards, but I would love to come. Second Saturday of december is golden, and though I have no childeren to bring (I need more notice for that one, about nine months more) I will be more than happy to supply anything else. ---

Actually, **F. Prefect** most of the DFW Dopers don’t have kids. Just **Mtgman** and I, and **Chef**. And _Please_ come, we’d love to have you. I mean we’d love to meet you. I mean, well just come. Oh, and how are you all doing, **Chef**? ---

Babs - White Elephant exchanges are practically a tradition in this group! I am instating a new rule this year, after someones contribution last year. Please keep gifts to an R rating, 'mkay? There will be kids here. ---

**Zyada** , what gift are you refering to? I don’t remember any that were inapproiate for the kids, especially since they weren’t _that_ interested in what we all were doing. ---

Mrs. Chef is so freaking pregnant that I’m shooting dirty looks at the Jolly Green Giant. She’s scheduled to deliver just after Christmas. Chef Jr. has revealed a hitherto unsuspected flair for science, especially geology. Say, I need to retrieve my cookie sheet from you, Moxie. I work not far from your house - any hope of setting up a prisoner release? ---

The potholders, how could I forget. 😉 Well, we will make sure our gifts are _tame_. **Chef** , you can come over anytime. I will be home Wednesday and Friday. Thursday I will be in Farmers Branch though. Come on over. 😃 ---

Jeez, Moxie, how could you forget those! Jim, I’m sure you could use what you’ve already gotten, and get something else. Unless it’s goat porn, in which case we’ll make sure Ag gets it I remember from last year that Cheffie requested no candles. While I don’t object to candles, they probably won’t get traded much. So let’s pass on those as well. ---

I have a great idea for a gag gift. Now I actually have to find a way to get it in time for the party. Hmmm… Enjoy, Steven [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/dfw-dopers-lets-plan-the-christmas-party/131668.md?page=2)
