DSC_0794this friday mak + me + the bf went to a white elephant/dirty santa party. and no, “dirty santa” is not really what it sounds like. it’s just the kind of present exchange where you’re allowed to bring something used or weird or free from your house. and it was a major success.

DSC_0819look how cute we are. there were 40+ people playin the game. I was #13 and unwrapped mak’s present, a cute little bobble egg LED light from the CAMH gift shop. (mak tony and i totally had alliances going into it, we knew we wanted her gift and made eyes at each other when other things we wanted got unwrapped – so we could be sure and steal them for eachother)

DSC_0848we made a sorta rule that anyone who unwrapped a book had to open a random page and do a little reading. matt’s reading of Miley’s autobiography was by far the most entertaining !!!

    You guys look like a fun group… We love the white elephant gift exchange as well…

    They are great fun.

    Next year you might want to try the Lefty the White Elephant story…. It adds the right/left game into the traditional white elephant rules… Adds some fun!
