<div>Here's what we had in mind. It will be a 'passive' WE in
that it will just go along with the party.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Bring a 'gift' wrapped up and put it on the table that will
be there just as you enter the Luke home. Drop your gift off
and pick up another wrapped gift and proceed to the party.
DON"T unwrap your gift at this time!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>For some time during the party (while people are still
getting together), people can 'steal' from others as much as
they want. (remember they are still wrapped)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>When everyone is together and the party is moving along,
Bert will announce that everyone can open their gift.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After that, everyone can 'steal' again but only two times
(someone can only be stolen from twice. This allows for one
stealback). Once you've been stolen from twice, you're either
stuck or lucky!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ideas about gifts:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Keep it silly, cheap, small (can be carried around fairly
easily),preferably androgynous and sailing related (e.g. your
old sailing gloves about to be retired)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
Wrap it like it's the Hope diamond with the best paper you have
left over from last year. If just wrapping it will give it away
what it is, put it in a box and wrap it or use your imagination
and 'ruse' package it. Initial concealment is part of the fun.
<div>
<br>
</div>
<div>If you're coming as a couple, you can bring one gift, but
remember to only pick up as many as you drop off. Also remember
that the more gifts the merrier! Take another look around your
house or garage!</div>

<div>We did this with a large group when I was a kid with the
officers of the aircraft carrier Kitty Hawk....large group and
it worked very well and was a blast even for the kids.<br
