Each year around the holidays the Annick East gang gets all dressed up for some festive fun and a delicious lunch. This year’s lunch was at Pallucci here in Toronto. Piled around a great big table we played everyone’s favourite game…you know the one where you pick a present and then the next person in line can steal it from you or open another present in the pile? (What’s that game called anyway?)
We also shared the results of our annual charitable donation exchange. Everyone in the house picks a name and then chooses a charity to donate to in that person’s name. At the holiday lunch everyone takes a turn in sharing which charity they chose for the recipient and why. This year some of the charities included:
* Doctors Without Borders
* Princess Margaret Hospital
* The Toronto Humane Society
* Share the Warmth
* The Bruce Trail Conservancy
and many other worthwhile causes.
Happy holidays and happy reading!
