A brown turtle is conducted much like a secret Santa. Except one gift is replaced with a log of shit. Everyone opens a gift in a Yankee swap fashion and whoever opens the log of shit (brown turtled) loses that years swap. Thus having to be deemed the brown turtle until the following Christmas.
Billy: "lets all pick a number for the brown turtle"

Fran: "I got number one!!" *opens first gift and sees a log of shit* "FUCK"

Group: "FRAN GOT BROWN TURTLED!!"

Billy:"Better luck next year brown turtle"
