I guess I better go to the Holiday party

I don't live in a mansion but it is a nice cozy SFH with lots of parking. I also have a pool table so if you have a favorite stick bring it along.

See ya all on the 10th of January

 

Heheh....Everybody thank Brian for his generosity!

 

Thanks a million, Brian.

I will be there with a tray of Pad Thai noodle.

 

OOOOOOO I will be there for SURE!!! I love those noodles!!!!

I may have to make my taco feast dip again

 

Sounds great already. Btw, are we going to do the "Yankee Gift Swap" again this year? It will definitely be fun.

 

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you want to trade a gift, bring one! Let's keep it under 20$

 

Eric and I will be there. Thanks for hosting this, Brian!

Christine

 

If I can get somebody to trade days off with me, I'll definitely be there.

If I have to work 8 hours, I'll probably be there.

If I get stuck with overtime, I'll possibly be there.

 

Whether I make it or not, thanks for holding this Brian.

 

I am looking forward to the party

The more the merrier.

Please sign up early so I can have a good idea on how many wil attend.

See ya , B.

 

Thanks Brian, the Wife myself and theree on the way will be there. I will post later what we will bring

 

CONGRATS on the triplets! I can't wait to meet them!! guess you will have to get a bigger car tho! LOL

 

I'll be there! However, I have no idea what to bring for the potluck. I am open to ideas, but they have to be something I can pick up in a store, for the following reasons:

1. I'm a typical bachelor who can't cook (and won't try!)
2. I will be arriving back from overseas vacation on the Friday night just before, and will likely be jetlagged... so very little time to do anything but swing by the store.

With that in mind, I will be happy to pick up soft drinks, chips, dip or whatever else is needed to fill in a gap or two... Brian, just let me know a day or two before, based upon what you know others are bringing.

 

I just received an invitation over the holidays for a former teacher's retirement celebration on the same evening. This will make my attendance much more difficult. I pretty much HAVE to go to that retirement thing but I might be able to catch some of the potluck if it ends early enough.

 

Hey L. I hope that you can still try and make it.

Those retirement partys usually only last a few hours since they are all old folk and go to bed early

See ya, B.

 

I can vouch for that! Can't cut/slice fruit, vegetables or meat properly... Can't sautee, broil, bake, grill, or fry from what I've seen... and the smoke alarm just went off from him toasting bread... keep him out of the kitchen!!!

 

I'll come with my gf and bring some cookies of some sort.

 

Sorry I missed this. Still trying to get over a bug and thought I better not share it... Musta been quite a party, everyone still sleeping it off?

 

Hey buddy you have not missed the party unless you cannot make this Saturday the 10th of January.

Hope to see ya, Brian

 

DUH, I only half read apparently... Glanced and saw 6pm and read as Jan 6....

Reading without comprehension, what a shame! Wondered why the thread was so dead!

 

With the Holiday party quickly approaching, please post what you plan on bringing. I planned on keeping a list but was not sure of the best way to do that.

See ya on Saturday, Brian

Please see post #24 for list.

 

As a veteran of the last 2 holiday parties, may I make a suggestion? You might want to go through this thread, then post who's bringing what in the following fashion:

Meat (hey, ya never know..we had a ham the 1st year): The person's name who's bringing it.
Veggies (this might include a veggie tray): Person's name.
Casseroles (this would include the famous pad thai): Person's name.
Dips:
Snacks (chips 'n stuff):
Baked goods:
Soda:
Ice:
etc. you get the idea..

This will help you keep a tally of what's being brought and it will show what is needed to fill the gaps, so to speak. Hope this helps. Have a good time on Sat.

 

Here is a list of those who have RSVP'd and if noted, what they plan on bringing.

Brian, as I posted earlier... since I'm both a non-culinary artist bachelor and that I'm flying back from Australia the night before, all I can do is go to the store on Saturday and buy something to bring... but I'm hoping you'll be able to tell me (by Saturday) what you think is still needed, so I can help fill in a gap.

BTW, you have me listed twice. Am I supposed to bring twice as much as anyone else, as punishment for not declaring it?
