    Ok we got invited to the neighbors house for a little holiday party they are having tonight. We've only met them a few times, and they are very nice people it seems.

    Question: Do we need to bring something to this shin dig?

    :confused:

    Hmmmmm.... Im thinking (and this is somewhat of an assumption) that they may be the type of family that doesn't drink. :D

    Well, you can always use the wine for cooking or give it away as gift later. :p

    That's what my parents does since they do not drink.

    This is the perfect opportunity to RE-GIFT.

    For stuff like this, I always take something like a fruit basket/fruitcake/loaf of bread etc. that I inevitably get every year from someone at work.

    I would ask. Some people have non-alcoholic parties, so showing up with some wine would be pointless.

    I'd take a bottle of wine, your choice... a nice Pinot would be good.
    I never brought anything to YOUR house, and you welcomed me, you liar... :D

    ELAINE: Maybe we should stop off on the way and get a bottle of wine or something.

    GEORGE: What for?

    ELAINE: These people invited us for dinner. We have to bring something.

    GEORGE: Why?
    ELAINE: Because it's rude, otherwise.

    GEORGE: You mean just going there because I'm invited, that's rude?

    ELAINE: Yeah.

    GEORGE: So you're telling me instead of being happy to see me they're going to be upset because I didn't bring anything. You see what I'm saying?

    JERRY: The fabric of society is very complex George.

    GEORGE: I don't even drink wine. I drink Pepsi.

    ELAINE: You can't bring Pepsi.

    GEORGE: Why not?

    ELAINE: Because we're adults?

    GEORGE: You telling me that wine is better than Pepsi? Huh, no way wine is better than Pepsi.

    JERRY: I'm telling you George, I don't think we want to walk in there and put a big plastic jug of Pepsi on the table.

    George: I just don't like the ideas that every time there is a dinner invitation there's this annoying little chore that goes along with it.

    JERRY: You know, you're getting to be an annoying little chore yourself.
