Re: Happy Christmas/Holidays!
Back when my mom's parents were alive and her brother was still married to his second wife (she organized almost everything), we used to have a holiday tradition of playing Dirty Santa. Everybody would bring a wrapped $20 gift and put it into a pile, and we'd draw numbers to determine the order in which we'd pick a gift. Once your number came up, you could either pick a gift from the pile or steal one from someone who went before you, at which time the person who was robbed either got to pick another or steal another (no steal-backs were allowed, and once a gift had been stolen twice it couldn't be stolen again) and so on. It could get very vicious, as our family is very, very competitive and capable of super villain-level craftness, but there was a surprising amount of teamwork involved as well. The best example is when my grandmother offered the last blanket she would ever knit as her gift, and everyone wanted it so badly, but my mom and I successfully worked together to win it. I still have that blanket, and I miss my grandmother every time I use it. I hope that maybe next year we can revive the tradition.
Re: Happy Christmas/Holidays!
Ohh we do something similar on New Years! Just with two dices and it is just tiny things that we mostly don't know what is, and some of it is usually gifts we got for Christmas but want to get rid of.
It is nice that you won the blanket! Always good to have memories of people that you can actually hold in your hands.
