Last year we started an annual tradition in our ward and we managed to keep it going for at least the second year now. That tradition is a choir party very similar to the one we used to traditionally attend in Long Beach.
We had lots of delicious food brought by the choir members.
And "white elephant" gifts that ranged from a dozen lemons in a beautiful gift bag to some very elaborate gift baskets with notebooks, puzzles, and assorted candies. I don't think there was a worthless gift among the pile although some came pretty close. Of course we did the gift selection by drawing numbers and allowing two "steals".
But most of all this was a great opportunity to party with 20 other people, to eat yummy food, and sing Christmas carols around the piano which I, with ever decreasing dexterity and accuracy, accompanied.
