The food was phenomenal, the gift exchange was out of hand, and it was great to reconnect with old friends and make some new ones after what feels like years of hiding under a rock.

Also, I think I broke a personal record, opening a total of 7 gifts in one day. I guess I am fun to steal from. And best of all, the orange string was a huge winner; who'da thunk?

I don't know if Ian or dirtwitch ended up with it, but I'll be appy to provide more to all askers.
