Christmas Party White Elephant! I have posted the rules here and under the December 2019 Christmas Party/Club Meeting Keith92 14 Dec 1-3 PM
Rules for the White Elephant Coral Swap
1- Each participant bring a coral ($15-20) in a wrapped and unmarked
2- Names are randomly drawn to select gifts
3- First turn, the person opens it so all can see what it is
4- Second turn, the second person gets the choice of “stealing” #1’s unwrapped gift or choosing a wrapped one from the pile. If #2 steals #1’s gift, then #1 must choose and open a wrapped gift.
5- Subsequent players take their turns, they either select a new gift or take any already opened gift
6- If someone steals your gift, you can steal someone else’s gift or choose and open a wrapped one
7- Continue until everyone has had a turn for a gift. A turn is ended when an unopened gift has been opened
8- A gift can only be “stolen” once during a turn. If a gift is taken from someone during one round, they cannot take it back during that same round. They can, however, take it back in a later round if she is in a position to select a gift
9- Once a gift has 3 “owners,” the 3rd owner of a gift gets to keep it – it is retired and can’t be stolen again
10- The gift exchange ends when the last wrapped gift is chosen and opened.
11- The person who started has the option to steal a gift.
