We will ‘jazz up’ the AF holiday party with a White Elephant fun twist. If you would like to participate (this is completely optional), bring a small gift (price limit around $20). Gifts shall be related to French, France, Francophonie or International Friendship in some way. Each player brings one wrapped gift and will get a gift in return. Wrapping is a key part of the fun, the larger the box surely does not mean the larger the present! Players draw numbers to determine their order of play. The player with the highest number goes first, selects a gift from the pool and opens it. The following players can choose to either pick an unwrapped gift from the pool or steal a previous player’s gift. Anyone who gets their gift stolen in this way can do the same – choose a new gift or steal from someone else.
- A present can only be stolen once per round;
- Players who have a gift stolen from them cant’ take it back. They can take a new gift from the pool or steal from someone else.
- Each gift can only be stolen twice. The gift goes to the third person holding it.
Parking is available in the St. Gregory Street garage, around Playhouse in the Park (where there will be a production at 7pm, so arrive early for parking) and at parking meters. Deadline to RSVP is December 5.
