Christmas Dinner

We will be assembling at 3:30 on December 25 to open presents. This year we are having a "Chinese Auction" form of gift giving. Everyone brings one wrapped gift, suggested limit of $25. Everyone draws a number to decide who picks first, second and so on. The first person picks a wrapped gift. The second person can choose either a wrapped gift, or the first person's unwrapped gift. Subsequent pickers have the choice of any unwrapped gift, or a wrapped gift. The last person has the choice of any gift, including the remaining wrapped gift. The only rule is that a gift can only be traded three times, and then it remains with the person who chose it for the third time.
