>> you bring and check out the selection as you may have one left over from 
>> last year. Please no pets as gifts - they tend to be left behind and usually 
>> end up in my neighbor's yard for some reason.
>> We're all for a separate exchange for kids if a parent wants to organize 
>> that. My kids are great so no, you can't change your kids for my kids no 
>> matter how much my kids beg.
>> Couple of ground rules:
>> *         Event attire is Christmas Casual. That means you're welcome to 
>> dress up or not but please, make sure you change out of caving cloths and 
>> leave muddy boots in the car. If you need a shower before the party, we have 
>> a hose in the backyard (and lotion - you can either use the lotion or "gets 
>> the hose.").
>> *         If you've had too much to drink, we will find someone to drive you 
>> home or find a place for you at or under the house.
>> *         Kids are welcome but they need to be well behaved. No running in 
>> and out of the house or playing around the fire in the backyard. Our house 
>> is not kid proof and we don't want anyone hurt.
>> *         Please be careful where you park and don't block any of the 
>> neighbor's drive ways. However, street parking is fair game so don't let 
>> anyone tell you otherwise. No open containers in the street and please don't 
>> throw any bottles in people's front or backyards. Note there is some 
>> construction in the neighborhood so be careful where you walk.
>> *         The hot tub is hot and open for business (102 F). If you want to 
>> get in, plan accordingly (Bring a towel if you have one.). Please no diving 
>> or jumping and no snorkels and masks and there is no lifeguard on duty. Tub 
>> at your own risk.
>> *         Please leave your guns at home.
>> *         No keg stands, that resulted in some pretty messy accidents at the 
>> last party and we don't need that in the house (however, I now have a 
>> plunger in every bathroom - live and learn).
>> *         If you get a Cat O Nine Tails in the gift exchange, we would 
>> recommend you put it away as they can leave some nasty long term marks for 
>> the inexperienced (as Rob K how we know that).
>> *         No pets, including service animals. We now have three pets that 
>> don't tolerate other animals very well - no matter how well trained they are.
>> *         Stay off the roof and out of the trees - no good can come of it 
>> (geezzz. I hate having to keep posting this every year).
>> Hopefully, the ground rules aren't too restrictive.
