Last Sunday was the Christmas Nutimik Staff get together. It was a evening of tobogganing, playing empires, and exchanging gifts. Everyone brought a gift and like all gift exchanges, the gifts were swapped around in a pseudo-random way and then people could steal certain gifts from others.

I brought out a copy of my 'Are You Old Man Nutimik?' game. It holds a special title for being one of the most shifty things that has come out of the camp office in the past year (other than myself or my coworkers). The game is like the game 'Mafia' except I have changed all the characters around to be more camp relevant - campers, counsellors, the nurse and Old Man Nutimik.

Other notable gifts were some slightly girlish socks, homemade toothpaste, Jon regifted the birthday present Emily and I got him, a recording of some talent show songs, a large A&W poster, and some several year old vennison jerky.

The one gift that surprised me was a T-shirt entitled 'Field Captain Kip', which was a archery shirt that Aaron had made of himself. This high quality shirt has a picture of Aaron on the front and a copy of the Nutimik archery rules printed on the back. It quickly became the envy of most people in the room. It got passed around a few times and ended up on me when everything was said and done. This shirt has been rumoured about for at least a year, so it is awesome to actually get one now that it exists.

The only thing that could improve this gift exchange would be a 'Sexy Men of Nutimik 2008 Calendar'. Oh well, maybe next year!
