Yankee Swap Brian Szewczyk

Yankee Swap Must bring a gift to participate.

Yankee Swap Must bring a gift to participate. Everyone picks a number from a hat.

Yankee Swap #1 chooses a wrapped gift & opens it.

Yankee Swap Next number can choose either a wrapped gift, or 'steal' a gift from one that is already opened. If they 'steal' a gift, the 'victim' gets to choose a wrapped gift & opens it. Continue taking turns until all gifts are opened.

Yankee Swap When all the gifts are opened, # 1 has a chance to 'steal' one last gift – trading their gift to the 'victim'.

Adjourn – Happy Holidays & GUD DX! See you at the February Meeting!! February 2015 Enfield, CT.
