2016 Pollyanna Rules

We're making Christmas great again, folks.

New rules for the Pollyanna this year. Every family is responsible for buying two gifts: One for the small child whose name you picked on Thanksgiving, and one for a Pollyanna game to be held at the Christmas Eve dinner on Dec. 17.

For the kids gift, we left the limit around $25. Nobody is checking receipts, don't stress too much about that. Here are links to the kids pages -- please leave sizes and a few gift ideas by Dec. 3, so folks can get their shopping done.

Addy -------- Emma -------- Lexi -------- Ollie
Maggie -------- Jonathan -------- Lily

For the adult gift, think of things that are both suitable for a couple of adults (A nice bottle of wine? A lovely set of coffee mugs?) and horribly unsuitable for family members (We're getting an "I'm with Hillary" shirt in hopes it'll end up with Aunt Rose). Wrap it in a way where no one can figure out what the heck it is, and bring it on the 17th, where the rules of the White Elephant game will be announced. FYI, we have already declared that the gift exchange game will be tied to your answers to the Christmas Question, which will be returning this year. Limit on gift purchases is $50, but, again, no one is checking.
