Now that I have your attention: did you know that December is filled with many multi-cultural celebrations? Here is a list of the some of the occasions for which people will gather for religious, spiritual or other celebratory reasons:
- Ramadan, Eid al-Fitr and Eid’ul-Adha: (Muslim)
- Saint Nicolas Day and Christmas: (Christian)
- Fiesta of Our Lady of Guadalupe: (Mexican)
- St. Lucia Day: (Swedish)
- Hanukkah: (Jewish)
- Kwanzaa: (African American)
- Omisoka: (Japanese)
- Yule and Saturnalia: (Pagan)
So what is with the alphabet soup in the title of this Meet and Greet? Simply this: we are offering two ways that you can join in the December celebrations during our monthly M&G. You can choose to participate in either event!
- YSTOTT: Yankee Swap, Tools of The Trade. Bring a TOTT, new or old, wrapped to disguise and participate in the Yankee Swap. If you are buying something new for the swap, please limit your spending to no more than $5.00.
- YPIPE: Your Presence is present enough. You don’t have to participate in any of the above to be welcome and to have a good time…just come to the M&G!
PLEASE come and celebrate with us. If you are choosing to participate in the Yankee Swap, please let us know in your 'Will Attend' log so we can keep a tally. There is no pressure to participate. It is good enough just to get together and have a fun time!
