Yankee Swaps.....

I must agree....the past couple years I put in decent gifts.....to only get useless gifts.

For example:

One year I got 4 bath towels
One year I got a Life Magazine Coffee table book from Bldg 19 and 2 homemade Cd's with Lawrence Welk music
One year I got a Red Sox T -Shirt that was too small and a World Champions Hat that was missing the "C" on the hat (said hampions)
One year my smart A$$ Uncle boxed up a package of toilet paper...was a big box so I picked it......

It was the first year we started the Yankee Swap.....He objected but everyone else wanted to do it....so he decided to pull a fast one.
Now I know why he objected....and I agree with him.

Not sure if I understand the Yankee Swap though.

The way we do it is, everyone buys a co-ed gift..all the gifts go in the middle...then we pick numbers and the person with #1 picks first and so on. At the end they do something funky.....like the person with #1 and the person with the last number get to pick any gift they want that already been taken taken??? They get to swap their gift for any gift that has been already opened......Something like that.

Were they nice bath towels?

Yeah, the bath towels were nice....still use them. But I think I would have preferred something else.
How about a freakin gift cert. to a restaurant or Dunkin Donuts at least.

Oh yeah, I got $25 in scratch tickets one year...not even a $1 winner.
