Today heralded the return of what has become one of the premier events of the holiday season — Dipsgiving, the friendsgiving that eliminates pesky things like silverware and most solids.

That’s not to say that this year’s Dipsgiving was an adults-only soirée. The kids partook of the dips as well, although they found the activity tablecloths much more interesting.
