In Dec. our guild passes around a sign-up sheet, asking for 2 or 3 people to sign up for light breakfast-type food for each month of the year except for July (picnic) and Christmas. (Our guild is small--only about 30 people.) Then, at Christmas, everyone is a hostess and brings a dish to share while we play a game to win gifts. It has worked well for us since we are not a large group.
