Two years ago the quilt shop where I work held a staff Christmas party. We all agreed we needed nothing so one year before, during and after the party we knitted and crocheted scarves to donate to homeless. The next year we each purchased a toy that we had as a child or that represented us. We stealthy put them on a table and attached a number to the gift. We all had to guess who purchased which gifts to see how well we knew each other. Turn out that after working together for 3-7 years, we don't really know each other outside of work very well. Lots of laughs during the party, after which we wrapped and donated them to a group collecting toys for children who may otherwise may not receive any. There are ways to enjoy each others company and share the bounty we each have.
