Anyone's family ever draw names for Christmas?

My fam for as long as I can remember draws names for Xmas. When we are all together its 32 people. Back in the day, it used to be by family. But they switched it to just 1 for 1, and made a limit of $50 bucks or so. It's cool, you only have to worry about 1 gift.

My immediate family used to do this every year since I was 5 or so. But everyone went off to college, got married, moved to diff. states etc. do we just get gifts for each other.

I know what it's called, just hadn't heard of it being done outside of the work environment.

Didn't know so many families were doing this.

My cousins and I do this every year since 2001. It saves so much time and headache than having to go out and shop for everyone in your family. We draw names out of a hat, and 1 gift for each (about at 40$ limit).
