Our chapter does a $5 gift exchange. They do a really cool way of dispersing the gifts however. All the gifts are put under the tree and randomly given/handed out until everyone has one. Then, the read aloud "'Twas the Night Before Christmas." Everytime the word "the" is read, you pass the gifts to the right one person. It is hilarous to watch and shows your listening skills. After the story is done, you go around and show what you ended up with and say something nice about your gift (how you will use it, what you like about it.)
This year the advisory board had all the activies over to an advisor's home nearby the school. The advisors provided the food and we did the gift exchange there. The advisor's home was lovely and it made everyone feel at home.
