This activity has been a big hit at the Christmas Party for several years - everyone looks forward to the fun!! To share in the fun, just bring a gift valued between $10 and $20 - wrap it but put no name or indication what it is on the outside. It can be something "serious" or a "gag gift". Just place it in the pile and share in the fun as the exchanges take place!! Here is how it works......Everyone who participates brings a gift and takes a number. Whoever has number 1 selects a gift from the pile and opens it for everyone to see what it is. Then the person with number 2 may either pick a gift from the pile or take the gift from number 1; if the gift is taken from number 1, number 1 then picks another gift from the pile. This continues through all numbers - each person may select from the gifts left in the pile or take a gift from another person - and if a gift is taken from another person, that person either selects from the pile or takes a gift from another person, etc, etc..... After everyone has selected a gift one time, we go through the numbers a second time. This time through, every person either selects a gift from another person or may elect to keep the gift they currently have. If you don't understand - you gotta be there!! |
