"*This is the message of Christmas: We are never alone*.” - Taylor Caldwell

*Date: *7th Dec 2013, Saturday * Time:* 1900-2130 * Venue:* EEE 403

* Share some joy with everyone by bringing in some food: homecooked if you can manage it, or just snacks for sharing. We will vote to choose the next ICSS Iron Chef, so do your best to impress! The winner will receive a fabulous prize and have his or her glorious name remembered for years to come :D*

In the spirit of giving, we will also be having a *gift exchange*, so bring along gifts of ~£5 in value to participate! As a bonus, the *first 50 ICSS members to sign up* for the event will also receive a *free Santa hat* from us, hohoho!
