Everyone has a blast trying to steal the best gifts. But last year people kept stealing my good gifts over and over and in the end I got stuck with this thing that no one even knew what it was. The guy who gave it said it was a wine bottle ornament but for an ornament it was HUGE and had these tacky tassles and none of us really knew what to do with it! <BR/><BR/>Blessings<BR/>MichelleMichelle Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02646258316409073003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3822873065635870307.post-7869137672377953312008-12-06T13:24:00.000-06:002008-12-06T13:24:00.000-06:00You know, I can't even THINK of a white elephant g...You know, I can't even THINK of a white elephant gift I've gotten at Christmastime.

I really hate while elephant parties, but my SIL gave me a whole stack of those awful plastic cups that her hubby had collected from different sporting events, but I gave them back to her the next year...

Anyway, the worst White Elephant gift I've ever gotten was an old eight-track tape of I don't even remember who, some obscure person I'd never heard of. My little two-year old ex-foster-son was helping me pick the presents and he thought it was the best thing ever, so I was able to send it home with him. I'm sure his parents loved that. :)Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168971820860256523noreply@blogger.com
