    Hey it's my poll- most of these days are days I can make at least some of the time :)

    Dinner I think maybe at Southbank at that pizza place, or some other central place of someone's choosing
    Gathering is welcome at my place if desired.
    And we have to Secret Santa wherever/whenever..under $10 as always.

    Doesn't have to be huge, doesn't have to be fancy; simple exchanging of Christmas wishes, eating of food, movie watching or drinking, and celebrating us as a group of friends before Christmas hits :)

    I put in a vote for the 23rd, because I'm not working that day or the following day, and the whole thing can be nice and relaxed for me, and also because I'll be having a big Christmas dinner at my mum's the following evening, and Christmas lunch at my grandparents' the following day, and the idea of 3 days in a row's worth of big, nice meals is pretty awesome. I can, however, do the evening of the 22nd. Am working that day, though, and won't be able to get there till 5 or 6. It's my last day of work before several weeks' holiday, though, so celebrating by getting blotto with you lot has a certain enticing quality to it as well.

    Those 2 days are about the only ones I can do. This Friday/Saturday is out for me, as is the 19th and 21st. If people like, we could hijack the Futurama thing, but I'd rather something separate. Spread the good times, y'know.

    I quite like the sound of pizza at Amici's then plodding back to Kahlan's or some other place of residence for drinks and movies. We need to watch our mandatory Christmas movie, after all (Die Hard).

    Sunday 23 December is my pick. I'm booked solid in the lead up to then, and I can more easily get the night off on a Sunday than I can on Saturdays.

    22 would probably be best at this stage for Matt and I. 23rd we might possibly be able to make, but I doubt we'd be able to stay past 8. We've got a plane to catch at 6:30am on the 24th, gotta be at the airport no later than 4am, so we'll have to be up at about 3ish. *sigh* I had considered napping in the afternoon and then jsut staying up all night...

    So yeah, 22 would be best!

    I'm free for the weekend run of the 21st to the 23rd, but I voted for Sunday cos I like BBN's suggestion of three big meals over three days, and I have a fairly similar Christmas social setup :p

    As always, will bow to majority, mob, or lynch mob rule.

    Be seeing you,

    I voted Saturday, but Sunday is equally do-able. I intend to drink double to compensate for being out of the country last year. That means up to two pints.

    Timmy and I voted for Saturday. We'll probably be driving up to Bundaberg on Sunday or Monday.

    Although we won't be able to get there before 5 due to work.

    Well the poll is closed and if we go with the voting, it looks like Saturday evening is it! :) Apologies to those who wanted the Sunday night, for work reasons and for three days of gluttony reasons :)

    Hope as many come as we can.

    IN fact if we could get as close to a "yes I'm pretty much definitely coming" here that'd be great, so I can reserve a cool table for enough of us.

    Plan:

    Saturday 22nd December.
    Amicis italian/pizza place at Southbank
    Meet at restaurant for dinner about 7.30pm

    Bring Secret Santa Present under $10, if you want to get involved. Don't bring one, don't get one :)

    Drinks at the Plough before hand if anyone wants to. I want to. Should be there by 6.


    After is up for discussion. As it's Saturday night it gives us a more time to hang at someone's place to watch movies or something I guess. My place might be out as I've got to be able to have the kid reasonably early Sunday morning, and it's a way from the City.

    Any after ideas or volunteering of houses for after gathering..please discuss here!

    Please post if you're coming..feel free to bring partners or special guests even if we don't know em :)

    And this is our one time to all hang out so everyone that posts here is invited! It's Christmas.

    I'll definitely be there. Might possibly be a bit late, but if I am it shouldn't be by too much.
