Ours was last week, a new member offered her home for the meeting/party. OH MY--her basement is a Christmas wonderland. One room was filled with a Christmas Village with lots of moving pieces. Example is skaters on a pond that go round and round, Over 1,000 Santa Claus items. All the way from a 1" x 3" Santa and sleigh, to a 4 ft one that was by the tree. There were cross stitch Santas, painted Santas, Stuffed Santas ceramic Santas and about anything you could imagine. One tree upstairs was white and had sterling silver Santa ornaments and clear lights to reflect on the ornaments. Absolutely breathtakingly beautiful.
She has collected for way over 30 years and friends always gift her with "another Santa". The newest was Santa as a chef. A friend from Oklahoma just sent that one to her.
Then cookie exchange, and of course wine tasting (grin)
Just an amazingly interesting party.
The Mrs Wright story is neat too. Will pass that to next years committee.
