In a previous post, I’ve talked about playing Dirty Santa at a Christmas party. I suggest that you look at this previous post if you don’t know the rules of the game. The Dirty Santa game became a staple of our department Christmas parties. Each year we would push the limits even more on what kind of gift was acceptable. One of the last years of this party, my wife and I set up a prank as part of the game and it worked perfectly.
We brought two gifts and they were wrapped identically. They were approximately the same size and shape. Relatively early in the gift swap, someone selected one of our packages. Opening it, they found a bottle of Jack Daniels in holiday packaging. This was a popular gift and immediately stolen until it could be taken no more. One of the next people to select a gift had keenly observed the wrapping paper on our first gift and went directly for our other one. When they opened it, they were disappointed to find a Shake Weight. It goes without saying they were stuck with the Shake Weight.
