Akiko had prepared many delicious items, the
theme was German this year...
|
|
 |
 |
| Baumkuchen |
Assorted
cookies |
 |
 |
|
These treats did not last long.... Then someone discovered Akiko's Christmas gift
from last year: Guitar Hero... |

|
| Everyone
was asked to bring a gift of cost $15
or less (we'll see soon that there were many smart shoppers in the
crowd) Each gift was assigned a number, and a drawing decided who would get to unwrap which box But, not necessarily could the unwrapping person take that gift home - because an unwrapper with a lower number would be able to force a gift-switch with a higher numbered unwarpper We had 18 gifts, and everyone was happy with what they received: |

Finally, we played two rounds of the murder-mystery game we played last year as well...The game goes as
follows:Everyone draws a secret card (here a paper
plate), labeled either with 'people', 'murderer', or 'police'. There
are
only 2 murderes and 2 police, the rest are common people. One person is
a moderator.
All go asleep, then the murderer wake up and kill one villager, then the police wakes up and inquires about a possible suspect, then all wake up and a possible murderer is put on trial and (often wrongfully) hung Round 1: |

 |
|
In this round, Julia and Fytos
did it, and were rightfully sentenced to death.
Round 2: Now Ody is moderator --
she should host this game on live-TV
|
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
| In this
round, all villagers died, and Julia and Zhe got away with it. |
