This Wednesday December 20, 2017 is our 7th annual Dirty Santa. Group will be held in the Wilton Station Club Room. Go to the Guard station and tell him you are with POZitive Attitudes and he’ll let you in.
Here are the rules:
- The price range for gifts is around $20.00
- Each person will buy 1 gift, wrap it, and bring it to the Wednesday group (do not tell anyone what the gift is, or label it in any way). If you can afford a second gift bring one for people that show up without one.
- All the gifts will be placed in the center of the room where everyone can see them.
- Put numbers in a hat for the number of people that are participating.
- Everyone takes turns drawing a number until everybody has one. This determines the order of gift selection.
- #1 picks a wrapped gift from the pile and opens it.
- #2 has the option to A) take the opened gift from #1 orB)Pick a gift from the pile for themselves.
- If #2 takes the gift from #1, then #1 picks again.
- #3 has the option to A) take either of the previously opened gifts or B)Pick a new gift from the pile.
- Whoever gets a gift taken from them picks a new gift and does have the option to take a gift from someone (except a gift that was taken in that round or frozen gifts).
- This carries on down the line. Everyone has the option to take any gift that has already been opened, or take a chance on a new gift.
- Here’s the kicker… Once all the gifts are opened, #1 has the option to swap with anyone else. Essentially getting to choose any gift he/she wants except those frozen gifts.
Here are a few extra rules on Dirty Swap etiquette:
- Once you open a gift, you have to keep it where everyone can see it.
- Gifts are frozen after they have been stolen THREE times.
