Wow, this is going to be a PACKED day.

Volunteering to be a helper at a children's Xmas party from 10-2pm, this event, and then Honda of Bowie's Xmas party.

TIS TEH SEASON!

I'll be there! (barring unforseen circumstances at first event )

 

Dress Warm!

This was a lot of fun last year, but I was glad I had about about six layers of clothes. Bring extra in your MINI to add after dinner.

Have fun guys!

 

i wanna come! i don't mind staying a little late either since i don't normally go to bed until 7 a.m. the next morning on Saturdays

 

yes, bring LOTS of warm layers...and warm,comfy shoes...you'll be standing on a sidewalk for a coupla hours.

 

Yeah, it was a good time last year albeit a bit on the chilly side :impatient

 

you survived ...I'm trying to figure out how to bring..like...a gallon of cocoa

 

... or some grilled s'more pop-tarts.

 

RSVP'ing. James and I will be attending. Most likely we will only be staying only for the dinner (lunch) and not the parade.... (though depends on the weather).

 

Good thing I have those fleece lined pants because it's probably going to be coooooooooold.

 

we have only 8 people for this???
1.me
2. Paul (my Paul)
3.Paul!
4.Sherrill
5.Sherrill's James
6.Matt
7.Will
8.Chai (I assume she's coming too)

C'mon folks...this a alot of fun, and there will be presents! At least come and eat with us!!

 

I have a children's party to take care of which extends till 2pm, and then some cleanup afterwards... Then it would take about 40 mins to get to annapolis if I don't change... And Chai's work Xmas party starts at 7...

So I'd arrive to dinner late, and have to leave before the parade.

I may not to make it, depending on how late I leave the children's party.

Sorry.

 

My company Christmas party is this Saturday, so yeah... umm sorry can't make it. It's a big deal - semi-formal dress, hotel ballroom, live entertainment, etc.

So that counts two of your DCMM members out, sorry Mom!

 

but..but..we have 187 members! where is everyone else?

 

There's a few more. I gotta scrub the events mailbox... standby...

-Paul!

 

more? oh good. Did you get my PM?

 

I am in for the meal and gift exchange !! Not too crazy about watching boats on the cold so I pass on that.

However, if you guys after freezing on the bridge want to warm up at our place stop by, we have Hot Spicy Italian Wine and Irish Egg Nog.

Will James be joining us as well?
FIY folks..the menu will not be a limited, fixed-price deal. After many attempts to contact the manager to set this up, I never heard back from her.
So full menu...I don't know whether they can do individual meal bills or what. I'll figure that out when I get there.

 

don't know about James yet.

Sounds like I need to hit the bank. I don't think the whole $1 i have in cash right now will cover anything...

 

DCMM specializes in meals that require math at the end!

 

Ummm... is that a RSVP then?

-Paul!

 

Glad to see the tradition I started is being kept up! I am thinking of coming down for this, anyone want to meet in Old Town Alexandria before hand and drive the twisty roads to Annapolis? It takes a little under an hour to get to Eastport.

 

Umm, sure!! I'm not entirely sober right now (), but when/where do you want to meet?

-Paul!!

 

Don't be buying anything online, ok?
