> We call that kind of thing a "Yankee Swap." When I lived in Virginia, they called it that, too. Darleen's side of the family does that every year; roughly half the presents are nice ones, and the other half are joke presents, often with cash hidden inside.

Interesting. I'll have to ask my wife if she's ever heard it called that. My family does the same thing every year, and pretty much the same way, with ½ and ½ joke/nice presents. Although I don't think we've ever found any money inside. We just called it "The Gift Game."
