CHRISTMAS PARTY!

Wed, Dec 4 from 17:30

Ticket sales are now closed. However if you would still like to join us - please contact us and we can probably add you on! :)

This year it's a two-stage shindig:

  • 5.30-7.30pm: Pre-dinner cocktails in the upstairs bar at The Molly House
  • 7.30pm-late: Unlimited pizza and DIRTY SANTA (decription below if this is your first Knitwits Christmas!) at our favourite, Nell's!

Cost: £30 which gets you one drink plus unlimited pizza and dips at Nell's (buy-your-own other drinks at Molly's and Nell's) We get an unlimited supply of 5 pizzas from Nell's menu, including at least one vegan and at least two veggie options.

OK what is Dirty Santa? Known more commonly by the names 'White Elephant,' 'Nasty Christmas' or 'Yankee Swap' the best way to learn what it is is to watch this clip from the US Office (the game starts at 2mins 25 seconds).

  • Everybody brings a present to the party. This is a generic gift, not bought for any particular person.
  • All the gifts get put in a pile.
  • The first person picks a present from the pile, unwraps it, and shows us all what they got.
  • The next person can either pick a new present from the pile, or steal the present that the first person got!
  • If they steal: The person who had their present stolen gets to pick a new gift.
  • If they take a new gift, play moves to person #3 - who can either pick a new gift, or steal from players #1 or #2.
  • Confused? Don't worry - it will make sense as soon as we start playing! And we promise it's really really fun.

How do I buy a gift for an unknown person? We suggest a spending limit of about £10. You can get something cute, something funny, something craft-related... Something that you think many people might like. In the past, gifts that have done really well (i.e. been stolen a lot - and the stealing is where the fun is) have included... a sparkly unicorn Christmas tree decoration / a sexy fridge magnet / a pair of sloth earrings / a bum-shaped vase / a naughty colouring book... Important note: the 'dirty' party of 'dirty santa' refers to the stealing, not that the gifts are all adult-themed! (Although there is usually at least one...!!)
