Christmas of 2005 a group of us started a tradition. We are a group of eight couples that are all mutual friends. We come together initially because of two things: Friends since high school and/or co-workers at a little place called CashWise - a huge grocery store in our town. Most everyone in the group has worked or still works at Cash Wise. A few of us (including me) even met our spouses while working there. Thank goodness the Cash Wise lifers can at least say they are members of the management team! Anyway, we realized a year ago that all of us are now married, so there will really be no other opportunities just made for us that will bring us all together, we will now have to create those events ourselves. So we came up with our annual Christmas Party. Everyone brings a food to share and we pig out and have fun catching up and talking about our kids and things going on in our lives. We have such a great time. The chemistry of this group of people is so great and I am so honored to be a part of it. It almost feels like we are a member of a club or a secret society. We really don't know when our group "began" so to say and we will work very hard to make sure it doesn't end. There will also be no additions to our group. Member can't leave (and don't want to leave) and we don't let outsiders in. We talked about doing a summer picnic or camping trip as well since the Christmas parties are so fun!
