Ladies Golf Christmas Party

Along with cold weather, there is no surer sign that the holidays are here... than holiday parties. We have already had the neighborhood party, which was a progressive party going from house to house. This week there will be several others to attend.

So far, my favorite is the ladies golf party. Lucky for all of us golfing ladies, the clubhouse is a great place to host a party! The annual event consists of a potluck dish to pass and a gift to give. It has been hosted at member's homes, but the clubhouse is nicer with the mess being left for the staff of the clubhouse to clean up.

After all it is the holidays...the format of the party goes like this; numbered slips of paper are placed in a basket totaling the exact number of those in attendance. Then the basket is passed around, each lady pulling out a number for the gift choosing order. Then one by one in order, you can take a gift, open it and show it around. The next number can then choose a new gift or take one that has already been opened. Yep... just steal it away from someone else. The event is always hilarious, with certain gifts being stolen multiple times, this year it was limited to 3 times only, per person to nab someone else's gift. You never know what gift you will be going home with, that is the fun!
