It's in the Bag

WE HAVE A fun family tradition for Christmas Eve. Well, we have a few, but everyone's favorite is the grab bag. After a chili supper and evening church, we all gather at my parents' house and dive in.

The grab bag is one of those huge plastic gift bags, maybe 4 feet high. It's filled with small gifts, some wrapped, some not. Some valuable (a gift card!), some not (a box of tissues ... oh wait, with a gift card tucked inside!). The youngest person grabs first, and the rule is that you have to pull out the first item you touch. No fishing around, no dropping that tissue box (remember, it might have a gift card inside!) and choosing something else. From you
