BAD SANTA
 
Hi People,
 
do you have staff christmas parties?
 
Have you heard of BAD SANTA??
 
This is the best idea ever for a Christmas Party with fellow staff members.
 
1) Everyone has to bring one present. 
2) Set a price limit (like $5 - real cheap is fine but not to cheap!)
3) Eveyone brings their present along - without their name on it - and places it anonymously in a basket or bag.
4) Everyone randomly selects a number (EG: 10 people at the party - number 1 - 10)
5) The person with the number 1 selects whatever present they like from the basket and unwraps it (Yay!)
6) Number 2 selects any present s/he likes from the basket.
7) Before Number 2 opens the present they have to decide.  Do they want their present or do they want to STEAL number ones present!!! 
8) If they steal the present they have to give Number 1 the unwrapped present
9) Number one or number 2 unwraps the present (Yay)
10) Number 3�s turn.  Number 3 selects a present.  then they decide do they want to steal off number 1 or number 2 or do they want to keep their present!
11) It continues like that until the last person gets the last present and everyone has a present. 
 
It is hilarious - especially if there is a couple of really great things in the basket and a couple of joke presents.
 
Remember you can steal anyones present...But you must give them your present to open.  You can not steal once you have opened your present! 
 
PPS - A scratchy lotto card is always great as people are slowly scratching while the game is being played...
 
Enjoy.
