Pizzelles I- submitted by Ed

Made way too much pizzelle dough. Can I freeze or refrigerate it for next week? Thanks

We are trying soups this year. Two different types. We can make them ahead, then crock pot on Christmas Eve. Everyone brings appetizer type snacks, too.

We have my sister in law's birthday party since she has a Christmas birthday. Then I go to my church job all evening. I make spinach dip and other goodies for my choir. A tradition.

How about playing a game where people are eliminated one by one until there is only one winner (think musical chairs or something similar)... As folks are eliminated, they get a number (if there were 20 people, the first person out would be #20, the next one #19, etc).
Then you could either let the winner (person #1) go first in selecting a gift and go in numerical order till everyone has a gift...
OR
Have all the #s in a hat, draw a #, and that's the person gets to select first. Then go in numerical order after them. Example: using the same 20 ppl scenario, #15 is drawn to go first. Next to pick would be 16, then 17, and so on; then after #20, it would go back to #1, then 2, and all the way thru #14.
Or instead of a game like musical chairs, you could do a trivia game-- Christmas trivia, generic brain teasers, or even trivia about the families of people there! The person with the most correct answers would be #1 and so on (like above). Actually, just about any kind of wedding or baby shower game could be modified somehow to fit as a way of determining who gets what present... you could even "secretly" assign everyone a number (hidden on the bottom of their plates, or under their chairs, or on the back of paper stocking decorations that each person writes their name on one as they arrive) and use those to decide who gets first dibs on gifts!
I don't know if these are the kind of ideas you're looking for, but hopefully they'll help you and/or others to come up with creative gift exchanges! :)
Keep em coming!!! We plan to present all the ideas next week at our BIG family Thanksgiving.

2 things.
I know someone will help here but there is a website that has Santa in your own picture. Worked like a charm last year for us. We have a picture of Santa in our living room.
email Santa and tell him the news. He can then bring a new present.

This is a joke since you have a Steeler's Avigator.... something with Browns/(how can you be from NE Ohio and be a Steeler's fan???????
My family is from there. It is who I am and what I am. Besides, family members who are Browns fans don't get presents, just prayers. (Sorry.....had, too)
-
Every year we host a Christmas family party the day after Christmas. We need ideas for the adults. We exchange gifts but need a different way.
We have done random gifts, name exchange, picking numbers, White Elephant....
Any new ideas??
Thanks

Another PA/OH shopper. I sometimes hit Niles, Oh. Usually I hit the outlets in Grove City, PA @ midnight, then travel to Sharon, PA @4 am for the rest of my shopping.
We always go to Niles. Used to go to the outlets until it started opening @ midnight. Relatives tell us it is crazy.....

Remember Dell Price Increases at any time. I have gone back in an hour in the past and they have upped the price on something I wanted:(
Thanks. Read them and it's ordered and on its way. Great deal.

Looking for one for DS12. Any info on this??????
-
Best Deal last year was the 2 for $33 Fathead Wall Decals. I set the alarm for midnight. Actually had the computer beside me.
My son was thrilled!!
