Friday, December 4, brought together a merry bunch of Oaklyn Hills residents (tacky Christmas wear and all!) at the home of Brandi Bradberry for a first-ever neighborhood ornament exchange! Guests "oooohed" and "ahhhed" over the gorgeous Christmas decorations while sharing stories, listening to Christmas music, sipping some wine and munching on a variety of home-baked goodies.
The atmosphere was nothing less than festive, creating a warm, lively tone for the ornament swap that took place a little after 8:00. Done in the "Dirty Santa" style, swap participants picked numbers at random and selected a wrapped Christmas ornament, one at a time.
All was calm and mild as happy present openers discovered beautiful ornaments for their trees... until the "Dirty Santa" part kicked in, and suddenly, guests were snatching ornaments from one another and quickly unwrapping replacements, only to get those picked up by someone else moments later!
Thanks go out to Beth for organizing the event... and most of all to Brandi who opened up her lovely home and graciously hosted the fun and festive party!
