Christmas Party


Santa

Dear Friends and Family,
 

You are cordially invited to our 21st Annual, non-denominational, NON-GMO, certified organic, fair-trade, Christmas Party on FRIDAY, December 13th, 2025!

This year we’re turning the dial up with music, dancing, cocktails, cookies, and maybe just a little bit of chaos? ...but in all the right ways.

This year the festivities will include live music and dancing courtesy of DK/FX, cocktails, and a SMALL PLATE SHOWDOWN with cash prizes! Sacha will be hosting a cookie exchange for all you bakers... and because we want to make life easier on the parents we will have babysitters, crafts, and Christmas movies in the other room for the kiddos.
 

WE KNOW YOU WANT DETAILS!!!

DK/FX (Dunning-Kruger Effects)

Get ready to dance the night away with live tunes from DK/FX, our favorite local group known for their infectious energy and eclectic mix of music. Whether you’re into classic rock, blues, pop hits, latin, or something a little more offbeat, they’ve got you covered.

Small Plate Showdown!

Bring your best appetizer or small plate and compete for a $50 gift card in one of three categories: Latin Cuisine, Asian Cuisine, and Americana. What awaits is eternal glory to the winner — and The BEST OVERALL will also get $50.

Cookie Exchange

For all the bakers out there: If you’d like to participate in the swap, touch base with Sacha and bring 12–24 cookies to share. You’ll go home with an assortment of holiday treasures (and probably a few crumbs in your pockets).

Babysitting

To make things easier for parents, we’ll have supervised babysitting in a separate room. There will be crafts, Christmas movies, and plenty of holiday cheer to keep the littles entertained while you enjoy the festivities.

...But that’s not all


Rumor has it… someone from the North Pole may be making an appearance. We can’t say who, but let’s just say you might want to have your wish list ready.
 

We can’t wait to see everyone — family, friends, and the occasional stray plus-one — for another unforgettable night of laughter, food, and holiday spirit. Here’s to 21 years of cheer, chaos, and cookies.
 

As always, if you or a family member is feeling under the weather, please be considerate and sit this one out. We’ll save you a cookie (or three).
 

With love and mischief,
The Uritis Family
