Dizon Cousins' Xmas Gift Exchange '09

Hi Mama,
This year the Dizon Cousins decided to do something different to celebrate Christmas Eve and it was a HUGE success! You would've been so proud to see how much fun this holiday season turned out to be!

The EMAIL that Started It All:
Happy Holidays Dizon Cousins! We all know it is a rough time right now, but as a family we can definitely find ways of showing our love an appreciation for one another by being a part of this fun activity and rejoicing in Christmas cheer. Let the Cousin Secret Santa Exchange begin!
Details:
  • Minimum $20.00/Maximum $25.0o
  • No gift cards! Let's try to think outside of the box!
  • Try to include gift receipts just in case.
  • Shhh...this is a secret so don't tell the person you got!

How it Works: Joan and Bea will randomly select everyone's Secret Santa by drawing names out from a cup. If anyone gets their spouse or sibling, we will just reselect for that person so each of us gets a cousin.

Wish List includes:

  • Shirt size
  • Hat size
  • Pant size
  • 2 of your favorite colors
  • Top 3 wish list items

See you Christmas Eve! - Bea


How It Came To An Exciting End:

Whew, I hope you followed it all!

Thank you, Ma for showing us how special giving can really be!

With Love,

Your Grandchildren
