Here’s how it works:

On the evening of Wednesday the 19th, starting at 5pm, we’ll be holding a Christmas Party at the Tenleytown store. It’ll be pretty casual, but lots of fun! All are welcome.

At the party we’ll play YANKEE SWAP (aka White Elephant, Thieving Elves, Miguel Sanchez, etc). The rules of the game are pretty simple (from Wikipedia):

All participants bring their gift to “the pile.” Gifts are wrapped, but are not labeled to reflect a sender or recipient. Everyone then draws a number, which determines the order of gift choosing. The person who drew #1 chooses a gift from the pile, and then shows it to everyone. It is now Person #2’s turn. They can either steal an item previously unwrapped or open a new gift from the pile. If a person's gift is stolen, that person can immediately unwrap a new gift or steal another person's gift. This process repeats until a gift has been stolen 3 times or until a person chooses to unwrap a new gift (as opposed to stealing a gift), at which point play proceeds to the next person. Owners of opened gifts must keep them visible for all to see and hold them up when requested.

Here’s how you get into the Yankee Swap pot: from now until Wednesday the 19th, you can buy ANY product or products in either Fantom store that fall between $9.99 and $24.99 for 50% off. We’ll wrap your present up and hold onto it for the game on the 19th. (Note: Yenkee Swap purchases are unreturnable/unexchangeable).

This is gonna be hella fun. I’ve already bought my gift for the pot.
