🔨 SET UP - 12:30 p.m. - There will be tables to move & set-up, some decorating; we'd appreciate help. We also need help taking down & cleaning up. Consider staying after ritual to make it fast for all
🧑 GENERAL ARRIVAL - 4:30 pm.
🕯️ RITUAL BEGINS - 5:30 p.m.
😋 POTLUCK DINNER - during the ritual
🎁 DISTRIBUTION OF GIFTS FROM UNCLE YULE FOR CHILDREN is towards the end of dinner, before desserts are served
🎁 If you wish your child to receive a gift by Uncle Yule, you MUST BRING a wrapped gift for EACH CHILD with their NAME ON IT, & give it to UNCLE YULE's attendants 🌟
We ask that value is kept around $15, so everyone feels included
🎁 If you wish your child to receive a gift, but cannot provide one, please talk to Ceinan 🌟 FB Private Message or text 360-731-7729 BEFORE YULE, & we'll make it happen. Don't be shy about it, we are here as a family
🌟We have a stash of gifts for various ages, interests, & abilities for our kidlets. No kidlet needs to feel left out, & we are a community!
📚 There will be a book-gift exchange as stated in the P&P statement above: please 👁️‍🗨️ read the post in the DISCUSSION tab of this Event; and as always, of course, you may still exchange special personal gifts between friends, if you so wish
✔️ DO GET DRESSED UP if you wish & can. Theme this year is a XXXX (usually medieval village or similar, but can change), so think
<<furs leather="" and="" homespuns="" cloaks="" early="" medieval="" simple="" shifts="" dresses="" tunics="" pants="" boots="">>
But don't fret about it. Be as COMFORTABLE as you wish to be.
✔️⛾ HELP US HONOUR THE GODS WITH OUR THRIFT & CONSIDERATION OF THE ENVIRONMENT! 🌟 We are slowly working to reduce / stop our purchase of disposable settings
♻️ So bring your own REUSABLE PLACE-SETTING - ☕ drinkware, plate, bowl, silverware, & cloth napkins are a great way to help us meet our goals 🌟
✔️ 🔪 If you can contribute to potluck, bring it READY TO SERVE, precut & portioned
All fruits & veg should also be 🚿 PRE-WASHED, even if package says 'washed', to avoid salmonella & other nasties
✔️ 🍲 DO BRING a dish to share with AT LEAST 10-12 people. This is most important to help create the Great Feast. 🌟 If you are bringing a large group, some extras would be appreciated
✔️ DO BRING a hearty main or side dish. We usually have way too many desserts, & not enough veggies & meats. One roast of some kind will be provided by CH
⛔🥚 DO NOT BRING items that are mayonnaise / egg based, as they do not keep safely for the entire event
⛔ DO NOT BRING BREAD ROLLS, Chalice Hart is providing rolls & breads, 🌟 as well as a non-alcoholic bubbly

✔️ DO BRING YOUR FOOD READY TO SERVE. If it is a cake/pie, cut into SMALL serving portions. 🌟 If a roasted chicken, cut it into pieces, etc. Crockpots / Instant Pots are great for keeping items warm
✔️🍳 Mark your pots, dishes, & 🌟 serving-ware, & make sure you TAKE ALL YOUR LEFTOVERS / items home
✔️🏷️ LABEL the food that you bring WITH CLEARLY WRITTEN TAGS, LISTING ★ALL★ INGREDIENTS, NO MATTER HOW SMALL THE QUANTITY, OR bring original label of purchased / prepared foods
⛔💀 Here are SOME of the DAMAGING to DEADLY ALLERGIES we have: TREE NUTS; PEANUTS; CILANTRO / CORIANDER; 🌟 SOY; GLUTEN; EGGS; SHELLFISH / CRUSTACEANS, FISH; NIGHTSHADES (tomatoes, potatoes, eggplant, peppers) & more ☠️
🌟 Clear listing of ALL INGREDIENTS keeps everyone safe from unexpected food misadventures
✔️ DO BRING special drinks you may want for your family or to share (wine, beer, special juices).
✔️😊 DO BRING everything that you will need to keep you and yours happy & comfortable. 🌟 Also very important: don't come to ritual without adequate self-preparation! This means being adequately nourished, medical needs addressed, & be rested
✔️💰 SUGGESTED DONATION is $5 per person. This money helps us to pay for the supplies throughout the year, & for the halls during the 🌟 Dark of the Wheel
💖 While we have a suggested donation, any amount is good, & NO-ONE will ever be turned away or judged for not having a donation. It is just that, SUGGESTED, & we thank you for any & all support given
✔️💲 Bring a few extra dollars for the raffle, would you? As usual, each ticket is $1, or 6 tickets for $5
🎫 You also get a free ticket with each door donation, no matter the amount. 🌟 There is also another way to receive a free ticket, but you'll have to figure that one out 😃
✔️💲 We accept CASH & CHECKS at the Event, as well as to our CashApp account under 📌 @ChaliceHart 📌
✔️❗ MAKE SURE TO NOTE IN CashApp WHAT THE DONATION IS FOR - raffle tickets, door donation, food bank, etc, so we can record & distribute under correct line item. 🌟 Food bank donation should be separate from CH donation if possible, or note the breakdown in the App
