Without further ado, here is Challenge #71:
Are you making the rounds of all the Christmas parties and eating too much??? Well, I am. As I'm writing this, I'm still stuffed from my neighborhood bunco Christmas party tonight. I had actually forgotten about it as I don't usually play bunco during the year. It seems I go a couple of times a year. Anyway, about 6 pm, I'm checking my email and there's the reminder of the Christmas bunco party. We were supposed to bring a gift ($20 range) and pot luck dinner. I always have a few spare gifts in my "stash" so that was not a problem but my cupboards are rather bare. But I was able to find an unopened pack of cream cheese and I had a jar of jalepeno jelly and some crackers, so, voila! I was in business! My luck at the bunco table was not great tonight - I only won 2 games out of 6! We only played one round after we ate and then did the Chinese gift exchange where you can steal a gift or open a new one. My luck is never good although yesterday at bridge, I ended up with a very nice set of little Christmas dessert dishes that I really like. I thought I was home free tonight. I was #11 (out of 22) and I stole a really cute stuffed snowman and held on to it until the very end. Then the gal that was #1 got to have one last steal before the night was over and she took my snowman and I got her present which was the same gift I had brought tonight! So guess that gift will be traveling to another Christmas party in the future!!
