a laughing matter...

We laughed until our cheeks were sore...
and our sides ached. 


Who knew that a 'white elephant' gift exchange could be such good medicine?  
We had a seriously good time!  
What a fun group of friends.
 

Have a wonderful Wednesday!

  2. We will be playing a gifting game where you either take a gift from the table or you may select a gift from someone that has already opened theirs. That can be fun but risky, sometime. Christmas blessings

  3. It does look like you had such a good time at the white elephant exchange at your party, Judy. I imagine everyone has to be in good spirits and understand all the humor behind the gifts.

  7. White elephant gift exchanges are the best. T saves odds and sodds. ..just in case he is invited to participate in one. I'm so glad you had such a great evening.

  9. Lindsey...in a 'white elephant' gift exchange everyone brings an item that they have no use for (a good way to re-gift). All gifts are nicely wrapped and placed on a gift table. All participants have a number and can choose a gift from the table when their # is called...and then unwrap it. Or they may choose a gift someone else has already unwrapped. Many of the gifts are quite humourous and we have a lot of fun with this game.
