BKA Family Christmas Gift Exchange

Every year my immediate family draws names out of a hat (or perhaps a bowl if we are too lazy to get a hat) to determine who is going to buy a present for who. I think this tradition was started when I was a kid and it was easier/cheaper to have us only buy a present for one sibling. A rather ingenious idea I think. And now with the 6 original kids, plus 3 spouses, plus 8 kids involved it would become super expensive to buy for everyone.

For some reason we also decided to separate the adults from the kids....perhaps some of the adults are afraid to have a 3 year old pick out their present....personally I think it would be fun to mix it all up....maybe I'll vote for that next year.

This is our family's solution....So basically, for those you not in my immediate family, this post will have no redeeming value. Feel free to ignore this post completely. :) Or I guess if you want, you could post a comment about how your family handles a Christmas gift exchange.
