Jingles -- It's Baaaaaack! Province of Southern Shores (San Jose, CA)
 
We've got bells that Jingle Jangle Jingle! Yes, Good Gentles, you read right!! Jingles is baaaaak! 'Course, it never actually left...but those are clappers under the table now!  There are a host of fun things being planned including a sumptuous Feast, the "Silver Tongued Devil", Family/Kid centered games & crafts, a performance by the West Kingdom Choir, a Silent Auction to benefit future events with Southern Shores, the Viking Gift Exchange ($10-max per item), the "Toys for Tots" donation opportunity (a New and unwrapped, unopened-in-the-original-box toy), the Brick Spoon competition; subject is "Playing with Your Food" (create a food item that is edible and can also either be played with, or represents a game or a form of entertainment), the infamous Table Decorating Contest; theme is "Birds of a Feather" (use either birds or feathers to help our Southern Shores Gull feel loved and all warm n'fuzzy for the Holidays).  We will also have a playful fighter tourney with prizes and silly quests, a re-vamping of a few of last year's fun games and some as yet to be determined revelry and/or classes. And last but not least, as Jingles is now back on the menu, the Best Use of Bells competition is too! (bells on clothing, an item made out of bells, a decoration using bells, etc)...
