Have you heard it called another name?
What are the best gifts you've ever played with?

My mom's side of the family recently started doing something like Judy said, but they call it "Dirty Santa". As in, you dirty so and so, I wanted that Snakelight. The coveted items in our particular circle were lottery tickets, and a Detroit Lions mini helmet.

yes, it's alot of fun. My friends and I do a Ornament swap that way. All wrapped gifts go in the middle and then you draw numbers one thru the number of gifts and take turns picking a gift you open it and decide to keep it or trade it for something someone else has already opened. At the end the person who had # one gets to decide from all the gifts. So hope for # one and after that the higher numbers are better(more choices). We do one ugly ornament and one nice, that makes it even crazier.

Yes. My family does it all the time, what you do is you get a group of people together and you have them bring gifts then you put the gifts in a pile on the floor. Then you have people pick gifts even out of people's hands if someone has one they want then when all the people have picked you open your gift and see what you got.

Yes, we play it annually. Last year I ended up with a clown wig and a grass hula skirt. The wig is going back into the exchange this year as we're not having Christmas until New Year's Eve.
