It’s getting to be that time again. Dave and I would like to invite you to our Christmas/Hanukkah/Eid-Al-Fitr/seasonal holiday party. We have a tentative date of December 6 - pending a conflict with a party for work, we expect you all to show up on our doorstep around 2:00 and stay until the food is gone. We’ll probably do a turkey and assorted other things. Who’s in? MADs of course, but whoever will be in the area, or indeed come just for it, will be welcomed. It’s way too early for me to try to write an OP. Just come and have fun, but let us know who’s comin’ first. ---

I’m in, but I’ll have to leave before the 7th as I have a meet that day. Oh it’s only for a day, ok then. ---

Are you going to shave yourself while you’re here? We’ll help. ---

We’ll have to pencil this one in. The following week is finals week, so it depends on how much I have to study. Robin ---

I don’t expect to be in MD the whole of December - spousal unit is coming south for the holidays. Next year - really! I should be a real MAD come June or so… _\_ I miss all the fun. ---

Thanks guys. \*\* All of the Falls Church MADs should ride together in my Bozo Bus! I know Ginger and Dave don’t want me there because they think I smell, but they can’t keep me away this time! I promise that I’ll bring my breath mints and wear deodorant, and maybe clean clothes, too! ---

You can count me as a big fat maybe. Gotta work on weekends, y’know. But maybe I can pull a rabbit outta the hat and get the day off. ---

Well damn. I had thought maybe we’d have someone from the far-flung reaches of the northeast posting to say that ‘can’t miss this one’ or ‘wow, gotta arrange a day off’ or something. I guess I’m just not that thrilling anymore! 😛 Maybe we can convince Chicago Dopers to come here to get out of the cold. Heh. ---

I think this place is chewing up my posts, right and left. I posted here yesterday that I’d be Doping the halls with you guys. Must’ve gone to the same place my posts to **Tranq** ’s moving thread went. ---
