I was thinking about going to the local meeting today, but realized it was their holiday party/gift exchange. I think it would be weird of me to go for the first time tonight. Should I stay or should I go?

Re: Members of a MoM group come in
I joined mine over the weekend but will not be going later this week to mine for the same reason. I would just feel a bit odd, but that is just me. I am going to next months meeting. I hope you enjoy it if you go!
I am going to my first MoMs meeting tomorrow night, and it is also their white elephant gift exchange. I am bringing a gift, and know a couple of the girls in the group already so I don't think it will be uncomfortable.
i'm not going to our MoM holiday party either - because i have only been to one meeting (the new MoMs meeting) and one event (at a farm) i feel like i really don't know anyone and would be weird to be at a holiday party with women who are all good friends.
just go to the next event after
I went to my first meeting in Septemeber and then did not attend Oct and Nov so I did not know anyone. I went to the Holiday party last week and it was really fun. Mostly b/c a MoM on here took me under her wing and I sat with her.
I am pretty shy when I don't know anyone and when I first got there I didn't know a soul, the Bump MoM was not there yet - I got a glass of wine and a MoM came up and introduced herself and we chatted forever. It was a very festive atmospere (more than the regular meeting) and even though I wasn't involved in the gift exchange it was fun to watch all the stealing. I say go for it - uyou can alway leave early if it stinks!
