We're having a "White Elephant Gift Exchange" here at 1pm.

And, no, it's NOT to be taken literally. :silly: We're exchanging gifts that cost between $5 and $7.

"Beverages" are promised us. If they are of the alcoholic variety, do you want me to have a drink for you? :-)

I only have your interests at heart.

1. Yes, please. A couple of drinks, actually...

Is that the same thing as "rob your neighbor"? That's where everyone draws numbers, and the first person chooses a wrapped gift and opens it. The next person can either open a new gift, or take the gift from the first person. If your gift is taken, you can open a new one, or take one from someone else. It's best to be the last person; then you get to see ALL the gifts and decide what you want to steal! Some people do it with gag gifts, but we do it (with my husband's large family) with real gifts (aprox. $30 or less). It's a lot of fun, and can get pretty crazy!

Have fun!

3. Yeah, something like that.

It was explained to me..kind of similar to what you described.

Obviously, at $5 - $7, we're NOT doing real gifts. I bought that lucky guy or gal a coffee mug. :-)

8. The only good thing the last conservative candidate for chancellor did:

When he went to Washington to get the * endorsement, he gave * this present ( he had no idea, he is just that incompetent)
