I used to play Tripole too. Not as a tradition, just had that game when I was younger.

I can only think of two traditions that I have in my family. The first one is the Mystery Gift. It's the one gift that doesn't have a name tag on it. Nobody knows who it belongs to until after all the other presents are open. Then it's presented to its rightful owner. Kind of silly now, but it was really fun when we were younger and it's just carried on.

The other tradition is that the nametags on our gifts at my Dad's house are always riddles or clues as to who they're for instead of having our names. For example, the gift might be to the first three numbers in my license plate, from the first three numbers in my parents' license plates. Usually they're more clever than that example, but sorting the gifts is a pretty fun time. There are always a few so obscure that all my brothers and sisters have to put our heads together to figure it out.
