Season's Eatings & Gift Exchange at Biaggi's (Deer Park)

Ah, the holidays. That magical time of year when our wallets are empty, our calendars are overflowing, and we're expected to smile through it all. What better way to celebrate than gathering around a table, eating overpriced calories, and stealing gifts from perfectly innocent people?

Join us at Biaggi's Ristorante Italiano for an evening of delicious Italian cuisine, festive sarcasm, questionable holiday spirit, and a White Elephant gift exchange!

Whether you're overflowing with holiday cheer or counting down the days until January, there's a seat at the table for you!

The $10 White Elephant Gift Exchange. Because apparently spending money on strangers and then fighting over their presents is considered a beloved holiday tradition!
🎁 We're putting a practical twist on the classic White Elephant exchange. Instead of bringing something destined for a landfill by New Year's Day, we're asking everyone to bring something people might actually want!

Gift Guidelines:
🎁 Participation Required: Every attendee must bring one wrapped gift and participate in the exchange. No spectators at this holiday heist!
🎁 Spending Limit: $10 maximum. Your bank account can thank us later.
🎁 Practical Gifts Only: Something useful, functional, or genuinely enjoyable.
🎁 Wrapped Gifts: Keep your gift a mystery. Half the fun is the disappointment... or excitement!
🎁 No Gag Gifts: Sorry, but nobody needs another singing fish, fake lottery ticket, or toilet-shaped coffee mug.
🎁 Universal Appeal: Choose something suitable for just about anyone. We don't need a personality assessment to determine who gets the scented candle.

How Does This Holiday Robbery Work?
🎁 Everyone participating draws a number to determine the order of the exchange.
🎁 The first person chooses and unwraps a gift. Every participant afterward gets to either open a new gift or shamelessly steal an already opened gift from someone else.
🎁 That's right! Nothing says "peace on Earth and goodwill toward others" quite like taking something from the person sitting next to you.
🎁 The exchange continues until everyone has a gift and at least a few people have reconsidered their friendships.

Festive Attire: Dress Like You Mean It
🎄 Come dressed in something festive! Ugly Christmas sweaters, holiday colors, ridiculous seasonal accessories, or your finest attempt at looking like you enjoy December are all encouraged.
🎄 Whether you're dressed like a department store Christmas display or simply wearing a red shirt and calling it a day, we'll appreciate the effort.

Guests are responsible for their own meals, beverages, taxes, and gratuity. Unfortunately, Santa has declined to cover the bill this year
📜 Biaggi's offers a separate menu for certain dietary restrictions. Guests with food allergies or specific dietary needs should contact the restaurant directly

A Few Final Holiday Disclaimer
🎁 The White Elephant gift exchange is mandatory for all attendees. Please arrive with one wrapped, practical gift valued at no more than $10. If you're coming for dinner, you're coming for the gift exchange too
🎁 Please remember that this is a friendly gift exchange. Stealing presents is encouraged. Stealing someone's actual belongings is generally frowned upon
🎁 Bring cash for the server tip!

Come hungry, bring your sense of humor, and prepare for an evening of festive nonsense, delicious food, and the socially acceptable theft of holiday presents

After all, nothing captures the true meaning of the holidays quite like spending $10 on a gift, watching someone else unwrap it, and then stealing something better

Happy holidays, you festive degenerates!
