I may bring kidlings with me, so if JC needs to bring his little honey, I think it can be arranged for my little honey to be there too. 😃 ---

Oh DUH. I didn’t even think of them. They’re so person-like. ---

Well, unfortunately, hubby will only have one day off this week, and it will be Saturday, and we already have plans. We will plan on attending **Anita Vacation’s** post-Christmas bash, though, so we hope to see as many of you there as possible! ---

Whoot. I got a Dopefest shout-out. I bring the party, y’all know. 😃 I’m feelin’ it, but have to check with the hubby, who works Saturdays, usually to 3-4 p.m. Even if he’s not interested, there’s a strong likelihood of _moi_ coming out to play. If there are interested parties, I could also see to bringin’ some homebrew? ---

I think I’ll bring mace cookies. Several generations old family recipe and tasty as all get-out. 🙂 ---

I emailed people I thought would be interested in coming, that haven’t posted here. All but TeletronOne, as I couldn’t find his addy. Haven’t seen him around, anyone know what’s up? The menu _so far_: Turkey Mashed potatoes and gravy Dressing (not cooked in the bird, no meat, Opal) veggie platter cheese and crackers Whatever anyone brings I suppose at some point I’ll make some pie and tarts and such. ---

I’m tentatively in; I’ll confirm by Wednesday. I have _no_ idea how I missed this thread. I must have been too busy corrupting wishes. Oh, look at this in my fridge – a bottle of Cordon Negro brut! Is one bottle of champagne enough, **Ginger** , or would you like me to chill a second bottle? ---

I could prolly make a broccoli casserole, and I make a damned fine broccoli casserole. Tark’s not sure if he’ll come but I’m going to bust mine bootay to be there and I know the kids will be pissed if I leave them here when there’s playing in another state to be done. ---

Scubaben, bring whatever you like. It’s not a requirement, unless you’re Hamadryad and have been teasing me with that damned broccoli casserole for three years. ---

I’m gonna try my hand at making cookies. We’ll see how it goes. And I probably shouldn’t have to ask this, but are we talking a gag gift exchange or a real one? ---

Well, it seems I’m in; if I got the $10 to cough up I’ll see what I can do about getting a gift in to the exchange. Other than that I’ll come hungry! ---

I gotta admit Baby Kate ain’t wild about going if there won’t be any kids her size kicking around. How certain are you, Hamadryad? Yours and mine had a blast last time. ---

I will bring a gift for the gift excange. Also, **Ginger** , could you e-mail me directions to [brookeln@earthlink.net](mailto:brookeln@earthlink.net) please? Thanks. And, I will bring a rum cake and some tequila-lime salsa. Lastly, I think **TeleTronOne** is thinking about coming. I will send him an e-mail asking him to post to the thread. See you all Saturday!
