A Yankee Swap

On Tuesday, December 20th at 1pm we will be having enjoying a Yankee Swap. For those of you who are not familiar with this, here is what you need to know to participate. Everyone wanting to participate brings a wrapped gift worth $10.00. Be creative, it should be a gift that others would like to own. When you bring your gift you will pick a number. 1 through however many people. The more people that come the “funner” it is! The first person picks a gift and unwraps it. Then the second person picks a gift or takes the one that the first-person picks. If the second person chooses the first persons gift, the first person picks another gift and unwraps
it. The game continues on until the last person picks a gift.
