Updated with Location! ExJW Holiday Party with “White Elephant” Gift Exchange

Updated invitation with location for our ExJW Holiday Party with a “White Elephant” Gift Exchange!

We have a reservation for 7 pm under Lauren Nunez. Please rsvp on meetup.com to help us confirm the headcount to secure the proper space. Attendees will manage their own food/drink tabs.

Please arrive by 8 pm if you want to participate in the gift exchange:

White Elephant Gift Exchange Rules
1. Each player brings one wrapped or bagged gift to contribute to a common pool
Suggested Price Range Min. $25 Max. $30
2. Players draw numbers to determine what order they will go in
3. Players sit in a circle or line where they can see the gift pile
4. The first player selects a gift from the pool and opens it
5. The following players can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool or steal a previous player’s gift. Anyone who gets their gift stolen in this way can do the same – choose a new gift or steal from someone else.
6. After all players have had a turn, the first player gets a chance to swap the gift he or she is holding for any other opened gift. Anyone whose gift is stolen may steal from someone else (as long as that person hasn’t been stolen from yet). When someone declines to steal a gift, the game comes to an end.
