Written Option 2:

A team Christmas party would be something of a matter of doing things for the players who are around for it. Given that quite a few players can quite easily fly home for the holidays, tailoring things for the players who are actually around makes the most sense. Therefore making an attendance list is key, and of those expected to stay home for Montreal, I’d wager it would look something like; Jussi Mutou, Rodrigo Banes, Johnny Patey V2, Emil Karlsson, Demir Bellona, Song Ju-gong, Jamie Fraser, Deth Klaw, Swedish Chef, and Clarence Worley. Given this cast, something more traditionally European would fit the group best. In this case something along the lines of heading out onto the town to see lights in the city and parks would be best. Enjoying cocoa and coffee while stopping by the occasional deli or bar to get some refreshments. Ontop of it all, a little white elephant gift party would also be a fitting activity for a bunch of locker room com-patriotes.
