I attended a Xmas party down south that had a Santa, a Christmas tree - and everything. The presents were generously handed out by Santa to the party attendees who are a community of people who see each other pretty well every day. We were the ringins. As each one opened their pressie there were shrieks of delight as they remembered when they had last received that present. There was a picture that had been recycled for 15 years now. Perhaps your Xmas pressies could be the start of the same thing. They sound really good for this. Have a party with presents piled under the tree. Whatever you get, the following year you carefully wrap it and put it under the tree for someone else. The excitement would be when you would receive that exact present again. With ringings, there would be an occasional new offering but one present could go on to infinity. What do you reckon?
