We usually have between 20 and 30 participants. It is an absolute HOOT! Your rules are almost identical to ours. The elder generation (mine) is 40s and 50s and the younger generation is the whole gamut of 20s. There are no grand-babies participating yet, but I am sure in a couple years we will have some of those also. The 20s have to be reminded to keep it rated PG. We also have had a rule that wavers from year to year... not only must the gift be a re-gift or gently used, but it must not be wrapped in new materials either. We have given prizes for the most creative use of wrapping materials. .-= Read Stephanie´s last post ... <a href="http://stephaniegaryadventure.blogspot.com/2010/04/pretzel-rolls.html" rel="nofollow">Pretzel Rolls!</a> =-.
