2020 Christmas Wishes


Happy Holidays!

"What makes us family is not DNA or proximity, it is the work we put in to maintain the relationships we have with each other." - karenannie


Instead of spending Christmas Eve together in someone's home, this year we will be gathering together over Zoom  (darn you, Covid!)

Here are the details:

6:00pm - Happy Hour, Social time.  BYO holiday beverage

6:30pm - Gift Exchange

https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83065014943?pwd=eHVoalN0dk5obUVBRUE4OWdxdXhxZz09

For those of you participating in the Secret Santa exchange, the Wish Lists are below.  It would also be nice if you would send your recipient a funny card with a personal note of admiration, memorable story, photo with a caption, haiku or rap song.

If you do not see your name below, please contact Stefanie (sbuckmaster822@gmail.com) and she will upload your wish list pronto!

If you are shipping gifts out to the various kiddoes in the fam, it has been requested that you email/text the parents the details.   Just in case there's nothing in the shipment or the tag gets separated from the gift.
