(Disclaimer: We're hoping that doesn't actually happen)

What better way to shed off the horrible stress of these last few hectic weeks of school by locking yourself in the university for the night? That's what the ARC will be doing on December 18. No, we're not crazy. We're FESTIVE!

Our Christmas celebration for the year will begin at 12pm at Top Gun Sushi near New Westminster Skytrain station, where we will be indulging in an all-you-can-eat lunch at discount DAYTIME prices, plus an additional 10% off! (Note, everything in this paragraph is subject to change)

The celebration will continue at 6pm where it will extend into an overnight party in the Rotunda. Please note that while we'll have some games running as usual, the club will not be providing any food! While we may make some coffee runs (depending on the weather), please be sure to pack along enough food and entertainment to last you through the night if you're planning to stick around. Don't worry if you aren't, though. All of the major events will happen before midnight!

And what are the major events, you ask? As usual we'll be playing Werewolves, but what I'm hoping will stand out more is our annual game of Cutthroat Christmas! Here's how it works: we sit in a circle around the presents. The first person opens a gift. The second person either opens a new gift, or steals the gift the previous person opened, leaving that person to open a new gift. The cycle of unwrapping and stealing continues until there are no presents left to open.

We encourage you all to bring gifts and participate. However, please note the rules:

1) NO FOOD, WEAPONS, OR ANYTHING POTENTIALLY HARMFUL
2) Please ensure that it's something anime/game/nerd related. The game is a lot more fun when your gift is something worth fighting over
3) Please keep the cost of your gift under $20. As Jevon always notes: "If you don't prepare to be disappointed as most people in the club are struggling college students with no money." We'd like to avoid situations of people who bought expensive presents getting screwed over.

As usual, cosplay is encouraged!
