Let Me Tell You
On Friday we hosted our annual Christmas party with the mini-church group. Fun was had by all. There was food and games and white elephant gifts.
It has become tradition to do a white elephant gift exchange. Well, let me tell you, we came away with a plethora of gifts. You see, when you host a white elephant gift exchange, you need to be prepared to find gifts hidden here and there over the next few days. Depending on the experience of your guests, it may take many days to find a hidden treasure. I just recently came across a light bulb candle cleverly hidden near the nativity.

Another gift somehow made its way into our spare bedroom and was nestled in between a few pillows.
Here I am modeling the mens leather vest that I received.
You just never know what you might find during a white elephant gift exchange. Oh and lest I forget to mention, it is ok and actually expected to re-gift a white elephant. So, a word of warning to all the little elves who are in charge of hiding gifts.... the christmas party just might be at your house next year and let me tell you, I've got some goodies to share.
Thanks to all who made this year a very Merry Christmas. Much love!
I've heard of white elephant gifts, Kim, but I've never heard of HIDING them. What a fun idea!
