Our First Christmas at the HITW

Christmas Eve

• Wolf Den – Chili Dinner, Drinks, daycare and a place for people to warm up.
• Bear Den- Decorate the Family Christmas Tree
• Fire Pit - Holiday Cheer and maybe some carols.

Christmas Day

• Eagle Nest -Christmas Dinner around 3pm? (call her about food)
• Wolf Den - Snacks, Drinks, daycare, and a place to warm up.
• Bear Den - gift exchange ... with a twist. Your gifts must be used.

Gift exchange rules!

Everyone playing brings a gift and we do it all at once, Kids included this time (there are only 4 young ones now)... I would love nothing better than to get a truck (or a pair of pretty princess shoes) from Buddy.

• Say maybe you have something lying around the house that you always think of someone in family when you look at it… Wrap it up.
• Say maybe you borrowed something from someone in the family and never returned it… wrap it up.
• Say maybe you have a REALLY ugly tacky thing that you never liked… wrap it up.
• Say maybe something useful you never use… wrap it up.
• Say maybe something beautiful you are tired of dusting…wrap it up.
• Say maybe you already bought gifts (ha! like we are that prepared)…wrap them up.
• Say maybe someone left something at your place and never retrieved it… wrap it up.
  

We draw Numbers… #1 one goes first, #2 can steal or pick a new, so on and so forth… after 3 steals the gift is safe and can no longer be stolen. If a gift is stolen, person who was robbed gets to choose to steal or open a new one at the time of theft. They may not steal back the gift that was stolen (not at that time, if their gift gets stolen again and the thing they want is not safe they may then get it back).

**** and NO PETS as gifts....unless you want not one but TWO wiener dogs.

*Only Heidi retains the right to change rules.

And since the kids are playing, I hope the adults, will be adults and not break a child's heart on Christmas.
