    We will be celebrating this year's Holiday Party at Chris & Jason's. It's a week early this year because Saturday, December 5th happens to be Krampus Day. What's Krampus, you ask? Krampus is a mythical creature who comes to children's homes the day before the Feast of St. Nicholas, steals away all the bad children, and puts them in his basket to take them to hell with him. The next day, December 6th, all the good children get presents!

    We will be celebrating Krampus with a twist to our favorite RMFF white elephant gift exchange. There will be three times during the exchange that Krampus will come and switch gifts between any two people, regardless if the gift is dead. In addition, feel free to come with any kind of Krampus themed gifts for the exchange. (As usual, no animals shall be exchanged, live or dead.)

    We will be supplying a ham for dinner, and there will probably be an official cocktail. Everything else is potluck / BYOB.

    Time is TBD, but it will probably be a little later in the afternoon / early evening.

    We look forward to seeing everyone!

    I thought about a costume, but it probably won't happen. If anyone else wants to wear a Krampus costume, I am all for it!

    I might have the perfect Krampus item for the gift exchange. We will bring food and grown up drinks as well.

    If you can come up with a Krampus food theme sure. Or maybe something Austrian? Otherwise, holiday fare is fine.

    I won't be able to get there until 5:00pm at the very earliest due to work (driving from DTC, if it isn't snowing). I'm not into Krampus at all so I'll bring something Christmasy, like SW cupcakes served on my new BB8 platter. LOL Need address for GPS, pm me.

    I'll be there. We have a troop in Colorado Springs but it should be over in time to make it.

    I'll bring some lame store purchased food item, but I found a good Krampus themed gift

    So far food-wise we have:
    Ham
    Potato Dish
    Green Bean Casserole
    Cranberry
    Pretzels and Cheese

    We could use another side dish and some desserts. We will also have some crackers and cheese.

    I think I'm bringing garlic potatoes and something or 2 more somethings, not sure yet. Trying to get out about 30 orders right now and I don't know what side is up or down right now.
