If you're not familiar with the idea, it goes something like this:

-Everybody brings a pressie, usually with a cost range involved
-Names are drawn one by one out of a hat.
-The first name drawn picks a wrapped pressie.
-The second name drawn decides whether to pick a wrapped pressie, or whisk the first person's pressie away, laughing hysterically.
-If your opened pressie is stolen, you can unwrap a new one.
-The third person likewise has a choice between a wrapped pressie or ANY of the previously opened pressies, whether they've been previously stolen or not.
-After the last person makes the choice, the first person gets one free pick from all the previously opened pressies.

Whoever thought of this "tradition" should be lowered inch by inch into concentrated hydrochloric acid. Whoever perpetrates this "tradition" onto anyone else should be shot. If the perpetratees are family, the person with the bright idea of perpetrating this "tradition" should be shot in the knees first.

That is all.
