We have done the chinese/white elephant gift exchange previously but hadn't done it for a few years. We asked at Thanksgiving if we were doing it this year and were assured "no no we're not doing that". Got a group email less than a week before Christmas that said "oh by the way we're doing the gift exchange". Needless to say participation wasn't 100%, caused some family members to leave early and others to not play.
