The Houston International Jaycees are hosting a holiday social! Please bring a wrapped mystery gift worth at the minimum of $20 or higher. This gift exchange participation is optional which means it's only applied to whom bring the gift(s).

What To Expect:

1. Names will be randomly drawn and gifts will be selected in that order.

2. The first person will choose one gift and reveal it!

3. The second person will then get the chance to take the previous person's gift or they can choose a different gift.

4. The game continues, subsequent players can take an already opened gift from any other player.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Rules:

-If someone steals your gift, you can steal someone else's gift or choose and open a wrapped one.

-Continue until everyone has had a turn for a gift. A turn is ended when an unopened gift has been opened.

-A gift can only be "stolen" once during a turn. If a gift is taken from someone during one round, s/he cannot take it back during that same round. S/he can, however, take it back in a later round if s/he is in a position to select a gift.

-A gift cannot be immediately stolen back from the player who just stole it.

-Once a gift has 3 "owners," the 3rd owner of a gift gets to keep it - it is retired and can't be stolen again.

-The gift exchange ends when the last wrapped gift is chosen and opened.

-After the last turn, the person who started (since she didn't get a chance at the beginning) can put back the gift and "steal" a gift according to the rules. This starts the gift exchange again (following the above rules) and ends when someone chooses or is forced to take the gift given up by the person with #1.
