Please bring a wrapped $10 or so.. geocaching gift with you to participate in the gift exchange. (Optional, you do not need to participate in the gift exchange in order to attend).
Please post how many are coming so I can give a head count, if you have any questions.... just give us a shout!
Here is how the gift exchange will work...
THE FUN PART: The Gift Exchange. This is known by many names but for this event… it will be known as the Geocaching Holiday Exchange! And seeing it is our event… it will also be run by our rules (posted soon)!! There are many variations to this. Because this part of the event involves "stealing" gifts from other players and that some of the gifts tend to be on the PG-13 side of the fence, I would like to try to exclude anyone under the age of 13 from Geocaching Holiday Exchange portion of this event. Children ARE welcome to attend, but they don't really understand/appreciate the adult nature of this type of game and can get their feelings hurt easily. That said we have had several players in double digits and under 13 over the years who did fine. It's the parent's call. If you want your child to participate, be sure to bring a gift for them to add to the pile.
TO PLAY: Bring something (new/unused) worth about $10, or the most awful thing you got for Christmas/Chanukah/Quanza/Festivus. For those that haven't heard of it, the Geocaching Holiday Exchange is a game where you trade with and steal gifts from other players. Each player must bring a wrapped gift. (For teams, that's one gift per each person on the team that wants to play.)
