All of the above, with some squeeing about Secret Santa gifts, IIRC.

Last year's thread is still on the main list. Take a look.
I was attempting the funny. Sorry for the lack of perceivable tone.
Sorry if I came off as mean. I got that it was funny. I was just trying to stem a sudden flood of posts trying to name the new thread way before its time.
No, not mean. I grok the natter-stemming. Will refrain except for ot postings.
Speaking of thread titles... Did we have a title for the next F2F thread? If not there were a few party quotes I thought might fit. It might be nice the tribute the show that brought us together.
Xander: This ain't no tea party, princess.
Faith: If we're gonna party, let's get on with it.
Buffy: Sure! We saved the world. I say we party!
The last one only if the recounts change the outcome of the presidential election...
I like tea party. It has tiara tie-ins with the "princess."
I like Princess!
I love "This ain't no tea party, princess."
I am thinking about this part of Bev's post after DC as I ponder its utter truthfulness about our F2F's:
All dolled up, we headed for the elevator. There was a sole, singular, defenseless man caught unawares by our collective gorgeousness when the doors opened. He didn't seem able to make eye contact, but ducked out of the elevator as we got on. Then he apparently realized he was on the wrong floor and ducked back in. "If you're going anywhere but the penthouse, tell us and we'll let you off on the way," someone said. "If you're good," I murmured. I'm not sure he heard me.
