I had played that game at a place I worked one time and the "stealings" were laughed about and it was fun. <br /><br />But it just didn't turn out right being played in a family setting. (Our family setting.) The price was $25 a gift. But nobody but Blaine's sister "stole" a gift. Everybody was too self-concious to do it. I guess I got peeved because Blaine's sister is so notoriously self-centered with no sense of sympathy for anybody else. The whole game just didn't feel fun. I think the game would do much better like yours---the cost of gifts lower, handmade gifts, etc---and in an office setting. I just didn't think that it went well in a family setting.<br /><br />(And I didn't want a dang popcorn maker anyway, heh!)Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-18999459583379763082010-12-31T13:41:35.487-06:002010-12-31T13:41:35.487-06:00I think the point of that game IS to "steal&q...I think the point of that game IS to "steal" the gifts. It's not about what you get to take home, it's about being silly and everyone getting raucous and disorderly. We played that one at our staff party this year and it was hilarious! Everyone was giggling and grousing at each other.<br /> Of course, we had decided in advance that the gifts could cost no more than 10 dollars or must be handmade. (mine of course was a handknit -a neckwarmer/small cowl of a beautiful cerulean angora/wool blend) I ended up with some home canning that will go to good use.<br />Perhaps the small price of the gifts made them easier to let go when "stolen".<br /><br />LoraAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-34471076377853292662010-12-31T08:36:15.391-06:002010-12-31T08:36:15.391-06:00Georgi--I must admit that I had to hide the degree...Georgi--I must admit that I had to hide the degree of my amusement!!Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-55788591567847395912010-12-30T14:30:05.292-06:002010-12-30T14:30:05.292-06:00I love this, I wonder how SIL felt when she got ho...I love this, I wonder how SIL felt when she got home with 2 popcorn poppers, hehehehehGeorgihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019991448147686889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-91000143416989028002010-12-29T08:26:01.600-06:002010-12-29T08:26:01.600-06:00Thank you, Linda!Thank you, Linda!Bo...https://www.blogger.com/profile/02136803397641401011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27782375.post-17983423181171613612010-12-28T23:44:31.352-06:002010-12-28T23:44:31.352-06:00Aren't you glad you just sat there and smiled ...Aren't you glad you just sat there and smiled your sweet lil Mona Lisa smile?
