>> An entertaining "Holiday Gift Exchange" has become a tradition at the 
>> FARC
>> Holiday supper.   If you haven't been to one, here's how the gift 
>> exchange
>> works:
>>
>> 1.) Participation is optional, but as always, the more the merrier, so
>> please consider bringing a gift.
>> 2.) The gift you bring should be valued at about $12.00 to $15.00.
>> 3.) The gift should be something useful or simply nice, i.e., something
>> that you wouldn't mind receiving as a gift yourself.  (In other words,
>> stuff like socks, underwear, perfume, cologne, neckties and the like may
>> not be appropriate...)
>> 4.) "Re-gifting" something you've received is fine, but please keep #2 
>> and
>> #3 in mind.
>> 5.) Gifts should be wrapped; wrapping paper and ribbons are fine if 
>> you're
>> so inclined, but a brown paper bag taped shut also works fine.  The idea
>> is to keep the gift a "secret" until it's opened.
>> 6.) Everyone who brings a gift gets a  numbered ticket.
>> 7.) After supper, matching tickets are drawn at random, one by one.
>> 8.) The first person whose number is drawn gets to select a gift from
>> among all those brought to the supper.  He or she then unwraps the gift 
>> so
>> all can see what their lucky number and wise selection has gotten them.
>> 9.) The second person whose number is drawn can select from all the
>> remaining gifts, OR grab the gift the first person selected.  In that 
>> case
>> the first person gets to go back to select one of the remaining gifts.
>> 10.) And so on until all the numbers are drawn.  As you can see, the last
>> person whose number is drawn has the "pick of the crop" of all the gifts
>> already claimed, plus the one remaining mystery gift that hasn't yet been
>> claimed and unwrapped.
>>
>> The process is much more complicated to describe and read about than it 
>> is
>> to actually do, so please consider bringing a gift and joining the fun!
>
> Please contact me by phone or email if you
> have any questions.
>
> See you there!
