Just wondering if anyone is up for a little christmas party. I'm aware that not ALL of us may celebrate the holiday but it's still something we can do as a group I thought.

anyone have any ideas?

Christmas isnt really a religious holiday, its just a season. So yeah lets have a christmas party, somewhere sometime. Hmmm, i dont have an good ideas

Well we could work a friday night into it possibly or do it on a Saturday.....do the bowling idea and then hit Local's or whatever.

sounds good to me. i'll be out of town the 17th-20th, but any other days/weekends/whatever, i'm down.

bowling: sweet
locals: of course
bars afterwards for those who wanna get sloshed

we could try to work in some initial D somewhere, too. but, i like the idea of food and bowling. bowling rocks

Ok mike you suggested it so you plan it I m down I say we do it on a Friday night After locals head down to Walkey bowl for some rock n bowl we can even do a little christmas exchange nothing more than 15 bucks

ok sorry if i offended anyone, it because of the my lack of linguistik skill

what i meant to say is, alot of people dont celebrate christmas as the birth date of jesus, but rather as a holiday season, many people from many diffrent religions have christmas trees and celebrate christmas, but are not christmas, so having a chrismis party doesnt mean having a party that marks the birth of jesus, but rather a party to celebrate the holiday season.

having that said, i dont celebrate christmas, but i do belive in jesus

all good buddy..nobody was offended....let's plan this thing and do it up in style!

 
Rep Power: 326

he he, i celebrate christmas and don't believe in Jesus...

 
Rep Power: 292

You didn't offend, just thought it was funny. BTW people are not christmas, I think you may of meant to say Christian. You just reminded me of the time my brother said his religion is a christmas tree. I am a Jew and I celebrate Hannukkah but I also celebrate Christmas. As far as the party goes I will be out of town from the 17th of dec till the 28th. If it is before then I may be able to make it

I have to celebrate Vigilia and Chrismas, so December 24, and 25, I'm partying at my dad's place. Going out does sound like fun guys, but seriously... how many places will be open?

If you change your mind on going out, EVERYONE is welcome to hit up my dad's little christmas-eve party. I know a few of you don't drink, but he's paying for the bews, and the softdrinks

Anyways, think about it.

oh, and the food also (i think)

 
Rep Power: 563

We should plan this before the weekend of the 18th if possible. seems like most will be around up until then.

 
Rep Power: 306

we should have a potluck! everyone brings a nice plate of hot food and Abe supplies the Arabic bong!

 
Rep Power: 326

yeah, potluck's a good idea!

 
Rep Power: 315

Just let us know where and when

sounds good Andrew better bring Perogi's

MMMMMMM Perogi's

I will bring some cool food just everyone post up cause I dont want everyone to bring some chips and beer and this time we only need 1 cake (ABE,JIM)

 
Rep Power: 315

why are you pointing to me? hehehehehe

everyone loves cake! its the gift that keeps on giving! hhehehehe


I'll be out of town starting the 17th...and the 11th is the night of all nights. hrm. should we try for the tenth? next weekend?

 
Rep Power: 354

Since you guys replied after my post, I'm assuming you're down for coming over. It would be x-mas eve at night. I don't have a time just yet, but everyone is welcome!

I'll hook up directions and time soon.

 
Rep Power: 327

^ I got my whole fam-a-lammmy over on xmas eve...

no can do

What are the plans for New Year's?

 
Rep Power: 326

thanx for the offer... but i gotta work... yes... that's right... i'm working on Xmas eve... and xmas... and new years eve... and new years...

 
Rep Power: 563

WTF??? that's not right. Who the **** is gambling on xmas eve and xmas day?

hope they're paying you mad bank for that.

 
Rep Power: 326

you know... not everyone celebrates xmas...

 
Rep Power: 563

wonderful point...I'm sure that 0.000009% of people in the Gatineau area will be rushing right out to the Casino...lol. I just think that making someone work a non-essential service on Christmas (if they celebrate) is wrong.

^^ Mike's right. Freddy, you should kick your boss in the junk!

ok lets get this going, because of exams and the fact that people are leaving town, we will make this mid week.

so December 15th, (Wendsay) or 14 or 16, whichever is better for everyone,
7 pm we hit kelseys, (somewhere diffrent then locals) and eat and stuff, and then we go bowling ( which i know nothing about, so someone else has to plan that(, after that if u guys wanna hot a bar or something its up to you.

also, a nice idea would be a gift echange, something small, 15 bucks or so, one gift per person, we put all the gifts in one big box, and each one of us takes one, that way we dont have to spend too much on a gift for everyone, and also i wanna see some santa hats on that day, or maybe jim can dress up as Mrs. Santa or one of the elves


tell me what u guys think of this plan
