After the 3rd time a gift has been taken, it is dead and you can no longer take it from someone.  Do you guys play that way?<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Yes we do and it is best if you have the last pick because you can choose the gift you like the best.  We unwrap at our first pick and go around 3 times.  They have talked about wrapping the gift 3 times and then you wait until the last to unwrap.  Then you are stuck with whatever gift  it is.  I try to buy what I would like.<br /><!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd--><br /><br />Good afternoon everyone,<br /><br />Falina - our women&#39;s group Christmas party plays that game...we call it &quot;Dirty Santa&quot;  they way we do it is to put our names in a bowl 2 times, when your name gets called you pick a gift.  Everybody can pick out a gift or grab someone else&#39;s.  Your name gets called twice...after that you are stuck with whatever you have unless someone grabs yours and then you get theirs.  and yes you want to be last<br /><br />MaryLou - turned out I didn&#39;t have to tell my parents about our cruise...Jerry had told them a couple months ago&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wacko.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wacko:" border="0" alt="wacko.gif" /> I had been worrying all this time for nothing...Oh well, they HAVE gotten used to the idea&#33;&#33;&#33;  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> and they are OK with it, so maybe hubby knew what he was doing after all...<br /><br />after my do-nothing day yesterday hubby has gotten into his head he wants to rearrange the house...So I have been going through junk and clutter all day...Hubby gets this way every now and again...expecially when the weather is dreary and he has been off for a couple of days.  The problem with going through all the junk, is the place I did have it stored he is moving it out...LOL <br /><br />Jackie - your grandson is adorable&#33;<br /><br />Jenn - wonderful that you and Hugh had such a nice Christmas together&#33;<br /><br />I need to get back to my de-junking...UGH&#33;<br /><br />HI to everybody and have a great day   <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/cool.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":cool2:" border="0" alt="cool.gif" />
