Perhaps a new tradition: the “Family Style Clothing & Extras Potluck & Exchange.” The idea was to exercise detachment and generosity by going through closets, holding only favorite items and bagging the rest. This was also encouraged for any “extras” one might have. Sort of a “white-elephant” centered more around truly useful items, not garbage.
Though no plastic gag gifts were present to set the atmosphere to “party”, good times ensued simply from the joy of trade, good food and the discovery of the perfect outfit combination!
