Holiday Party
Thursday, December 13, 2018
Dowd's Country Inn in Lyme starting at 5:30 PM with a cash bar, and some snacks. Dinner will start at 6:30 We will be doing a Yankee Swap at 7:30. The goal is to leave at 9 PM.
In Yankee Swap each participant brings a wrapped, unmarked gift (under $15) [for a couple, both bring a item for the swap] and places it in a designated area. Guests are given numbers as they arrive.
The person who receives the number 1 will pick a gift (that is not their own) from the pile and open it for all to see (or models it, reads it, or demos it). During the selection of a wrapped gift, the participant may visually inspect the gifts, pick them up and/or gently shake them.
The person who receives number 2 then chooses a gift and opens it, and then must decide whether to keep it or swap it for the first player’s gift. Each person in order then gets to select a present, open it and decide whether to keep it or swap it for any other gift someone has already opened
At the end, #1 gets to keep or swap for a gift they really want.
