Hi Ladies,
Our favorite is on Christmas Eve. We do what we call a "Chinese Auction". Not sure why it's called that....
Anyway, I buy and wrap a present for everyone who is going to be over. I then draw a name and they can choose a present and open it. When the next person's name is drawn, they can either select and open a wrapped present or 'steal' an already opened present and replace it with a wrapped present. It is sooo much fun. There's always alot of laughing and screeching go on. We'll do a round of 'stealing' presents after. (I hope I explained this properly!)
We started this a few years ago, and it has now become our family's very own tradition. We also always order Chinese food on Christmas Eve. It's such a wonderful evening and not having to prepare supper is so nice.
(We are not Chinese, LOL.)

I've done that before, too. It's fun! Well, it's more fun with fun people. Some people call it "The White Elephant" exchange too. I have no idea where this names come from!
