Christmas list will help you make a list of people to exchange gifts. It makes sure: a. people from the same family don't get each other and b. person a and person b don't exchange gifts i.e. person a always gives to someone other htan person b if person b is giving them a gift It's "good enough" right now in that: it's fundamentally broken half the time since it infinitely recurses. so Control-C if it doesn't print out a list immediately and try again.
