White Elephant gift exchange (trade of spirits) is a game to entertain rather than for gain. The game rules differ wildly. To avoid confusion during the game, Erin wrote down a set of rules for the exchange! She also fostered the idea for the meeting. Thanks Erin!
I have attached a copy of the White Elephant Rules that will be used at the Year End Meeting Sunday (13 Dec 2015).
Thanks!

White Elephant Rules
1. Gifts must be brought wrapped
2. Numbers picked from a hat at the start.
3. Number 1 picks a gift from the pile and unwraps it and shows everyone.
4. Number 2 can pick a new wrapped gift or steal a gift from another person who has already opened one.
5. The person losing the gift may pick a new wrapped gift or steal a gift from someone else.
6. If a gift is stolen for a second time, the gift is locked to that person.
7. This continues on until everyone has an opened gift.
8. The person with number 1 gets the final steal, which ends the game.
