Last week we gathered some couples in our home for a casual dinner of chicken chili and ice cream with homemade chocolate sauce. We lit candles, and a fire in the fireplace and it snowed outside. The house was almost all decorated for Christmas except our tree wasn’t up yet. It felt cozy and I loved getting to know these folks better, connecting them to each other.
One thing we often do when we have new friends over is to ask each person to write down a little known fact or hobby, or experience, or accomplishment. We fold the papers, put them in a bowl and draw them out one at a time. As we read them, we try to guess who wrote each one.
Afterwards, here’s a picture I posted on Instagram.
