Read it! Swap it! Christmas Special

3 December 2009, by Diana Varbanescu

Time for Read it! Swap it! Christmas drinks! And time for Secret Santa!

First of all, details for our December meeting:

  Venue:          

  The Compass

58 Penton Street Islington London N1 9PZ
  Date:   Sunday, 13th December
  Time:   6pm
*   Please bring a book wrapped up as a Christmas present
  Entry:   Free, but booking is essential

 

And now about our Secret Santa:

What is it

Secret Santa is all about members of a group exchanging anonymous Christmas presents (in this instance, new/used books).

How it works

We all have to bring a book wrapped up as a Christmas present (limit to how much can be spend on the present £5). We'll place all presents (books) on a table and each of us will randomly pick an anonymous gift.

Feel free to play tricks or give hints (cards or other special ways to make yourselves known) if you want to reveal your identity! Dressing up allowed ;) Also, do practice your best smile: you might end up with a worse present than the one you gave!

Look forward to seeing you all on the 13th, please confirm your attendance!
