Dottie Grygiel is hosting the Book Club's annual holiday party. (No book for this month.)

For our holiday gift exchange we each bring a small gift, or perhaps a re-gift, a thrift store treasure or something funny. (It's not an exchange of generic items worth a certain amount.)

Place the gift in a brown paper grocery bag and staple or tape it shut so it's a real surprise to whomever chooses it. We each take a number and pick a bag in turn or take someone else's gift if we like it better! It's alway great fun!

You are invited to bring an appetizer or holiday treat and/or a bottle of wine to share.
