Baubles and Bubbly

Close to 20 women attended the December Ladies night which featured Baubles and Bubbly, Traci Murph welcomed the group and provided a delightful way to exchange the ornaments. Each person was asked to bring a wrapped ornament valued at $20. Traditional ornament exchanges feature a Dirty Santa game, but not this time. Traci read a Christmas Gift Exchange poem which had the participants starting with their own ornament and then moving it to the left or the right. Whenever those words came up in the poem the ornament moved in those directions. Sometimes two lefts, then a right, etc. In the end each ornament was at least 6 moves away from its starting point. After that, each person opened the ornaments and there were lots of oohs and ahhs as an assortment of lovely ornaments were displayed.
