Shawn's Christmas Party

Every year, our friend Shawn organizes a great Christmas party (for the football crew and others on the left) where we get together and instead of purchasing new gifts for the knock-down, drag-out Yankee Swap, we get together some of the crap around the house that we want to get rid of and wrap it up really nice. We used to buy new gifts with a ten dollar limit, but one year someone brought a six pack of really good bear. But because it was such good beer, he had to drink two of the beers to get the gift under the limit. Since nobody really wants a four-pack of beer, we switched to used gifts after that...

This year we fought over the wrestling singlet and the Tinki-Winki phone (again). We got stuck with a posessed looking bear lamp and a box of stuff having to do with cows. I already am looking forward to next year...



PS - The pic up top isn't from the Christmas party - it's from a few years ago and it's really scary to see how many of us have gotten married and had children...with eachother.
oh - and I can't figure out why the picture on the bottom is so small, but it's the wrestling singlet. Sexy, huh?
