Doerksen Family Christmas Information

Sorry this info is so late, Auntie Vange gave it to me at Auntie Helen's funeral and I forgot to talk about it last weekend. So, here's a copy of the letter she gave me...

"Dear Family,

Enclosed in this envelope you will find slips of paper for the family Christmas gift swap. Have everyone who wants to participate in the ggift exchange to pick a slip (at random with their eyes closed). Each slip has a time on it. You must choose a gift that is appropriate for that time of day or night. Example: 8:00am - might be coffee, 2:00am - might be a lullaby CD, warm milk, ear plugs, as creative as you can get. Gifts should be in the range of $5 - $10. Attach your time slip to your gift inside the wrapping.

Your family is also asked to bring the following (Ramona, Susan, Ashleigh, Kim, Amanda):
- Dessert for 45 people
- Punch for Lunch
- 1 tray of dainties (for faspa)
- 1 sweet salad

Party Date: December 21st @1:00pm
217 - 8th Street South (This means south of Pembina Ave)
Winkler, MB
Phone: 325-5029

Also bring warm clothes, skates, and possibly sleds.
Activities and surprises for children included.

Vange & Renee"

So, that's the scoop. I'll keep the time slips in my purse so we can try to remember to draw them the next time we're together. Or, when you see me next you can draw your slip.

How do you want to divide up the food bringing responsibilities?
