Umm...I have a question for everyone: What does the phrase "$20 limit" mean to you? I thought it meant don't spend more than $20. Evidently, some people take it to mean "Jibba Jabba Blah Blah Bibbity Boo." I brought a modest gift to our Christmas party today, and it turned out to be the dreg of the party. I ended up with it. Oh well...Merry Christmas right?
Give me Thanksgiving...food and done.

I say that $20 is more than a white elephant. I don't like white elephant business anyway. People get mean and do vicious things thinking it's so hilarious.
ReplyDeleteOh Stephen, I hope you come back and write more -- I've just found your blog!

I'm not a big fan of white elephant Christmas parties. My sister in law has one every Christmas. I did get rid of a jar of pickled pig's feet one year.
ReplyDeleteI've also found that it's a good outlet for bad purchases. Have you ever bought one of those products off late night tv. You know the comercials, "but wait there's more!". You can't live without the product that they're advertising on the tube. But when it's delivered, you wonder just how many glasses of wine you had that night. Perfect white elephant gift! They'll fight over your Eggstracter or your Shamwaa.
Some people like to give Lotto tickets. I don't. Can you imagine how sick you would feel if one of the tickets Uncle Harry ended up with was worth $5000? Every year he would grind it in you.
Just my thoughts,
Merry Christmas!
