Reading the list

The time next to each title is how long the story takes read out loud at an easy pace, and the pass count is how many times the gifts move. Under three minutes suits little kids and a last round before people leave. The long ones need a reader who enjoys an audience, and they're the ones people talk about afterward.

The tags are only a starting point. Plenty of families read the office story at Christmas because it's the shortest one with jokes for adults. None of these fit? Write a new one with your guests in it.
