I would have to say that my favorite holiday experience is when we have our family Christmas get-together. Everyone brings a white elephant gift, worth no-more than twenty dollars. They are placed in the middle of the room. Next everyone draws a number, and starting with the number one, you pick a gift. It continues down the line.
The fun really begins when instead of picking a gift from the pile the person gets to take a gift that has been previously opened, then the person whose gift was taken can pick another unwrapped gift or choose one from someone else.
We had to change the rules a couple of years ago. We made it so that once a gift has changed hands three times it is considered. dead. The reason for changing the rules is because the two favorite items, golf balls and booze, kept going around and around for over an hour or so, but in the end a good time was had by all.
