Oct-Dec Christmas Gathering

[kmalia]

There was talk of a Christmas Gathering for Oct-Dec moms, before all of us head off to our respective holidays.

The idea was an evening gathering either at someone's home (potluck-style) or in one of the function rooms at a club - Football Club, Aberdeen Marina Club, etc. (Catered)

Dates considered were:
- Monday, December 15
- Sunday, December 21
- Monday, December 22

Moms, Babies, Husbands, out-of-town visitors all invited.

Please do give your thoughts/ideas!

Would the function rooms be all booked up in the run up to Christmas?

checked with Aberdeen Marina Club and they said all three dates still currently available! Catering menus vary pretty widely from western buffet-style, to chinese buffet, etc...

i guess we just have to decide what kind of atmosphere we want!

I am also more than willing to host at our house - it is pretty central (Kennedy rd.) - either way is totally fine with me!

I'm pretty fine with location/food. As for date, I'm anticipating that I will need to go back to my pre-baby schedule, in which case, I won't be able to do Monday nights. Sundays will def be my day off so that'll be a def ok day for me.

Kirstin...think this is a fab idea! But the only date I can do is the 15th as we leave for UK on 17th. Aberdeen Marina Club a great venue as well. Look forward to hearing more about it and also to getting together with everyone in the not too distant future. Sarah-Jane keeping me so, so busy at the moment but hoping to find some semblance of a routine in the next couple of weeks!

I'd be interested in coming along too and would prefer the 15th before family arrive for Christmas. Thanks- great idea Kirstin!

I leave for the UK on the 13th so won't be able to make it ;-( May be we could have another celebration in January, once all the babies are here xx

Hi Kirstin,

thanks for taking the initiative on this!
I would be up for any of those days.
(for what its worth, I would be happy for a daytime, mum's only event (as don't think I will get my husband along!) but also happy for evening if the new mums think they will have the energy/inclination to be out in the evening?)

Hi K - great idea. The Marina sounds fab for Dec. 15th. It'll be cool to meet everyone with their bubs.

Good point Treens. From what I've heard/read, babies do tend to be more unsettled in the evenings (Timmy included)... Might like to take that into consideration...?
