Christmas (cow) Party

Everyone has their own holiday traditions. Ours is getting together with friends and exchanging inexpensive gifts in a random fashion commonly called a "White Elephant" gift exchange. We draw numbers to see who goes first, second etc. and then the person choosing can open a wrapped gift or take one that is already opened from a previous player. If your gift has been taken you can unwrap another gift or steal another and on it goes until the last gift is opened. Gifts can be funny or serious.A few years ago someone brought a small cow pin and everyone thought it was the funnest gift ever. Now every year we try to add more "cow themed" gifts to the mix until our party has become known as a "Christmas party with a cow gift exchange." It is a lot of fun and we look forward to it every year. Here are a couple of pictures showing how some of the cow theme was played out this year!


Patty and I want to wish everyone a very merry Christmas. Along with the fun lets take time to remember the reason for the season! Our Lord and Savior Jesus was born this day to save us all! That is great news! Spread it around!!
