Christmas Auction

by Julie
(Wichita Falls, TX)

Instead of getting gifts for each other, all of the adults in my family participate in our Christmas Auction. Each person brings a few small gifts or handmade items. We lay all of the items out and number them. Everyone gets the same amount of "Santa Bucks" - usually 20 or 30 depending on how many items there are to bid on. We take about 30 minutes to check out all of the items and write down what we want to bid on each one. When everyone has their bids ready, my mom "auctions" off each item. It is so much fun to see what item will be "hot" every year. We usually have a mystery gift (wrapped) to bid on. Some years it is a gift certificate and some years it is a gag gift. Christmas wouldn't be the same without the auction!

What a great idea. Who came up with that. It would give everyone a chance to "win" and get exactly what they want. A person can bring what they think each family member might like or bring a gift that they want to bid on themselves. Whoever had the idea was a genius! GREAT IDEA!!

Our family has done this for years and we have so much fun. We always use items we have at home that we want to get rid of but there still nice. My sister is the auctioneer and she is so good at it you think you're at a real auction.
