The annual Christmas party of the Garrettsville-Hiram Rotary was held on December 13, 2021 at the home of Lisa Muldowney with a fine repast, featuring the legendary cheeseburger soup and an assortment of other delicacies. After the filling meal came a fun-filled exchange of “white elephant “ gifts. Among these were flags, a Nerf gun, B&D equipment, a plush Bernese Mountain Dog, a Santa teapot, a plaid blanket,, a Karma-esque belt, numerous pieces of Christmas decor, popcorn, a lighthouse hanging, a plush monkey hat, a blue scarf and a seashell plaque; a DQ truck made an appearance as well. A ball made of Saran Wrap and various inclusions–lottery tickets, fabulous prizes, fixed dice (?)–brought an end to the merriment before everyone “flew off like the down of a thistle” for the rest of the Christmas holiday. “Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!”
