White elephant gift exchange
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
The Dirty Santa gift exchange, or Yankee Swap, is a popular party game played during the Christmas season in the United States. The objective of the game is for guests of a party to each contribute one gift to the game, and ultimately each guest walks away with one gift from the game. Along the way is a random drawing to determine the order in which players get to unwrap gifts or "steal" previously opened gifts.

[edit] Rules
−===Items needed===
1. All gifts should be valued between a set amount. This can vary based on the crowd, but should be standard for all attendees. Use your imagination and let's make this fun.
2. Participants bring their gifts wrapped or sealed in a gift bag, and often take care to hide the contents of the gift and the identity of the giver.
3. Gifts are placed in a designated area. (Place your wrapped gift on the table of the main conference room).
4. Participants draw numbers to see who goes first, second, etc.
[edit] How to Play
1. The guest who has drawn #1 goes first. He/she chooses a gift from the gift pile, opens the gift for all to see, and keeps it for the time being.
2. The guest who has drawn #2 goes next. He/she can either choose to take an unopened gift from the gift pile or to "steal" a gift from any previous gift-opener.
3. If a gift is "stolen" from a previous gift-opener, he or she may either open an unopened present from the gift pile, or "steal" another guest's opened gift. Turns resume when all guests who have taken their turn possess an open gift. Once a gift is stolen, it cannot be "re-stolen" again during that same round (although it can be re-stolen during a subsequent round). Limits are often placed on the total number of times a gift can be stolen at all.
4. After all turns have been taken, the person who has drawn #1 has the option of taking one more turn (stealing any gift) since they had the disadvantage of not knowing what any of the now-opened presents were in the beginning.
[edit] Origin
The name "Dirty Santa or White elephant" loosely refers to an old tradition of giving second-hand gift items that are either kitschy or burdensome for the owner to maintain. It originates from an old Burmese cultural reference to the value of an albino elephant, which is considered sacred and must be well taken care of, despite the financial burden that it may bring to its owner.
[edit] Trivia
This game was featured in the Season 2 episode of The Office titled Christmas Party. It was referred to as "Yankee Swap."
