<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Georgia><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:black'>What is a “white
elephant” gift exchange?! Here is the general description and
rules:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Georgia><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:black'>Initially, all of the
wrapped gifts are placed onto a gift pile (or on the conference room
table). The gifts should NOT have any tags on them – they should
not be labeled to show whom they are from, nor do they list a recipient. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Georgia><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:black'>We’ll put
everyone’s names in a hat (everyone who brought a gift and is
participating in the gift exchange), and then draw names to see who goes first,
second, and so on. The first person selects a gift from the pile, opens
it for all to see, and keeps it for the time being. The next person,
determined by drawing names from a hat, can either choose to take an unopened
gift from the table or steal a gift from any previous gift-opener. If an
unopened gift is selected, the gift must be unwrapped. If at any time a
person’s gift is stolen, that person can immediately unwrap a new gift or
steal another person’s gift. This process repeats until a person
chooses to unwrap a new gift (as opposed to stealing a gift), at which point
play proceeds to the next person. After all turns have been taken, the
person who went first has the option of taking one more turn since this person
has the disadvantage of not knowing what any of the now-opened presents were at
the beginning of play.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=black face=Georgia><span
style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Georgia;color:black'>Owners of opened gifts
MUST keep them visible for all to see and hold them up when requested.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

affordable for everyone. Please limit your gift purchase to
$15.00. You may choose to buy a couple of small gifts that add up to
approximately $15, or one larger gift for $15. The choice is
yours. Be creative! (***FYI: Please try to buy a gift that is
unisex, and that both your men and women colleagues would enjoy. Our
hope is that everyone leaves the exchange with a gift they like and can
use.)</span></font> <font size=2 face=Georgia><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
