Sophia & Jason’s Holiday Party 2026!

Sunday, December 6, 7:00 PM

Come join us for a holiday party centered on food and friends!

1208 Dewey AVenue, Evanston

The house with the red door, behind the big magnolia tree, half a block south of Dempster Street. It’s walkable from the Purple Line Dempster stop or a few buses. Street parking is available on Dewey Avenue, Crain Street, and other nearby streets.

What to Bring

Bring yourself and your appetite. We’d like to play White Elephant, so you can also bring a wrapped gift of any value, including gag gifts. (We’ll have a couple of spare gifts on hand for those who forget but still want to play.)

What Not to Bring

There’s no need to bring a dish to share. We’re also keeping this party alcohol-free, so no need to bring bottles.

Tentative Menu

We’re thinking of muhammara, chicken au poivre (made without alcohol), an onion-potato side dish, bread, a Brussel sprout-pomegranate salad, jollof rice, tomato cornbread, a Basque mango cheesecake, and a couple kinds of cookies. This may change. There will be gluten-free, soy-free, nut-free, vegetarian, and vegan options. If you have any other food restrictions, let us know.

For THose Who want to Drink

Our house is within walking distance of Saint Errant Brewery. For those who wish to, we’ll head out to have a drink after 9:30 or so. No pressure to join for those who’d prefer not to.

RSVP

It’s super important to let us know if you’ll be coming, so we know how much food to make. Please email msophnewman@gmail.com no later than November 29.
