Good to know

What's the difference between Dirty Santa and White Elephant?

Just the name. Dirty Santa is what the game is called across much of the American South; the draw-steal-swap rules are the same. "Dirty" refers to the stealing, not the gifts.

What makes a good Dirty Santa gift?

Broad appeal — the game rewards gifts half the room wants. Funny-but-useful beats pure gag: a joke gets one laugh, a good gift gets stolen the maximum number of times.
