Sew on pompoms, plaster on stickers, or even whip up a bizarrely brilliant creation from the depths of your yarn stash. The weirder, the better–and no Christmas decorations, please! Dress in your most wacky and tacky attire, and get ready for:

Hot apple cider & hot chocolate (kid-friendly too!)
Less-than-sophisticated activities
Awkwardly awesome small-talk with new faces

Step out for a fantastic night of community bonding that’ll have everyone buzzing at the water cooler (or your dog will be thoroughly impressed if you work from home)!
