We do the same kind of gift exchange as Gayle. We have our work Christmas party this Saturday. Everyone and their guest has to bring a $15 gift suitable for a male or female. With ours, the best place to be is #1... because you don't get to steal a gift to begin with, at the end you get a chance to steal ANY of the opened gifts!
Diane, I need to go to the UK at Christmas I think

The market sounds wonderful!
This weekend we have our annual craft show here. Hundreds of merchants from the province (and a few from out of province) set up booths inside the big arena. Scott and I are planning to go Friday night. It always gets me in the holiday mood!
