Oasis Shirt

Oasis Shirt

This is a fun question. For about 35 years now I’ve hosted a Christmas party for about 30 friends. The ‘price’ to get in is a homemade ornament. You would not believe what my friends have come up with. I have numerous boxes of Oasis Shirt . About 8 years ago, I told them to not bring anything. But last week, party weekend, about 15 still brought one. They all said that they just loved doing it and it put them in a party, Christmas mood. So the last 8 years I had to come up an idea for the tree. Some of my best were: going through printed pictures of my friends, had some of their pets- most now gone. Vacation pics with one or more in it, and just neat / interesting landmarks etc. took over 100 to Walgreens . For a dime/picture, the copied them onto print stock. I refilled the originals and then cut out the the thing in pic I liked. Bought a stack of manila folders and a bottle of Elmer’s glue, both cheap. Opened the folders and laid them flat on my dining table that had a sheet on it, arranged all the cut-outs on the open folders to get as many as possible on each one put glue on the back of the image, pressed it onto the folder. A couple hours later, cut the pics out of the folder Now the pics were very sturdy. On the back, more glue and a metal ornament hanger. (Like 200 for $ 1) guests had a great time retelling old stories associated with the memories the photos inspired. Hope you like my ideas.

Oasis Shirt hoodie, tank top, sweater and long sleeve t-shirt

I was working in a Oasis Shirt in the seventies and it was was always busy at the weekends. At Christmas, it was busy to the extreme. We only took bookings. First year a lot of people let us down and didn’t turn up. Lesson learned. Second year we took a deposit. Still people didn’t turn up, but the people that did request that the deposit from the “no shows”be taken off the bill. Lesson learned. In the third year we altered the rules again. This time it was £5 per person deposit non-refundable for “no shows”. Knowing they can’t make it and not wanting to lose their deposit, what do they do? They phone through and say, “Sorry we can’t come to your restaurant, my mother has passed away recently. Under the circumstances, we expect a full refund.
