This year, besides our delicious seafood feast, we're having a "Secret Santa" gift exchange, to welcome the holiday season! Each person is asked to bring a wrapped gift with a maximum value of €15. Santa and his elves will then hand out all the gifts to those who have been good boys and girls this year. But Santa has ditched his old lists and now operates on a random distribution system, so who knows what you'll get! Once you've opened it, you'll be free to exchange it with another party-goer who may be more interested your gift than theirs.
Festive attire is very welcome.
