As a new member, this was the first guild holiday party I’ve attended, and it was lots of fun. There was approximately a ton of food–we could have fed twice as many people. And it was all good!
From what I’ve heard, last year there were too many desserts, but this year it was the other way around, although I didn’t have much room for dessert anyway, after filling my plate with “savories.” (As the newsletter explained, a savory is any food that is not sweet.)
There was a brief show and tell, then we exchanged gifts. After opening our packages, a microphone was passed around the room so everyone could show off their presents.
As an added bonus, everyone who paid their membership dues that night received a second gift, a cute felted notions case (mine is a purple cat.)
