About it

Hey All, we will be doing our 3rd annual White Elephant gift exchange this year. We are going to Gulf Coast Town Center for the exchange, then go somewhere to eat afterwards. I will post the meeting spot closer to the date. Here are some rules to go by **Info:** A **white elephant gift exchange**, or **Dirty Santa** is a party game where amusing and impractical gifts are exchanged during festivities. The goal of a white elephant gift exchange is to entertain party-goers rather than to give or acquire a genuinely valuable or highly sought item **Rules**: Each participant supplies one wrapped gift, usually of similar value or any value. The gifts are placed in a central location and participants determine in which order (often by numbers randomly drawn prior to the start of the game) they will take turns selecting a gift. The first person opens a wrapped gift and the turn ends. On subsequent turns, each person has the choice to either unwrap a new present or to steal another's. When a person's gift is stolen, that person can either choose another wrapped gift to open or can steal from another player. Two rules that I am adding after last year. 1\. A gift can only be stolen twice or three times\, depending on the participants 2.NO HOT FOOD can be giving as a gift. If you would like to give Lindt Chocolates or Ferrero Rocher or something similar that is ok. 3. Try to keep spending under $30
