Want to help? Contact Becky [email protected] Dirty Santa Rules The rules go something like this: Everybody brings one gift, wrapped. $10 price limit All gifts will be "deposited" at the present table. Everyone who participates is expected to stay all the way to the end You will be given a number ...when we begin, we will draw numbers to see who goes first, second, etc... The person who has number 1 takes a gift from the pile, opens the gift and sits down with the gift in plain sight, generally on her lap. Then "2" then takes a gift, either from the pile or from 1. Then 2 sits down with the gift displayed. If 1's gift was taken, then 1 gets to take another from the pile. She cannot directly take back the gift that was just taken from her. She may be able to get it later, however. Then "3" gets up and can take a gift, either from the pile, or from 1 or 2, in which case that person can take either a new gift, or one from another person, but not the gift that was just taken from her. Etc. etc. and the very last person has the choice of all of the previous gifts, or the one (or more) still in the pile. Toward the end of the game it's not at all unusual for a lot of gifts to move around in a single turn before finally somebody takes a gift from the pile. You can't directly take back something that was just taken from you, though the next time something else is taken from you, then you can get back the earlier item from whoever has it then, even the person who got it from you. No guarantee you'll keep it for long, however.
