Ho, Ho, Ho! Merry Christmas! The Rising Sun in Epsom was once again the site of our annual Christmas meal. A full house was present for a 3 course meal, complete with Christmas music, party poppers, crackers, Secret Santa and just general mucking about with poppers and string.
The table was a complete mess of paper and poppers (which were chucked about after they were used). Total carnage (in a nice way). It should be stressed that no one was harmed in the process of this meal.
The Secret Santa did not have a theme this year, but there were still plenty of interesting presents on display (£10 budget). Here's a laundry list of the gifts!
Laura and Katie got girly stuff like soap and candles., John got a quiz book and pen. Felicia got a diary. Wendy got some puzzle books and chocolates. Simon got a bottle of wine. Ellie got some orange wooden thingies for her guinea pigs to gnaw on. Rob got a toy car, a 'bamboozle' game and some pictures of Cliff Richard (see previous Christmas meals). Rob tried out the car and it worked very well.
Helena got mittens and hand cream. Rachel also got mittens. Caro got a sewing kit. Dan got biscuits for his dog and chocolate for him. And a book about travel locations for his holidays. Chris got a biscuit tin shaped like a radio (he does hospital radio DJing).
Mark, who likes gliding/flying got a picture book of aerial views of Britain (and chocolate). Anthony got a QI book and a national geographic book. And David got a Buddha (he's not a Buddhist he just likes their quirkiness)!
A great time was had by all. Thank you to the Rising Sun for having us in their function room and to Simon for organising the meal!
