You are participating in a holiday gift exchange with a few classmates. You each write down your own name on a slip of paper and fold it up. Then all the students place their names into a single hat. Next, students pull a random name from the hat, one at a time. If at any point someone pulls their own name from the hat, the whole class starts over, with everyone returning the names to the hat.
