Gifts that aren't.

[innerSpaceman]

Our family does the same thing on Christmas. It's specifically a "White Elephant" gift exchange game, but it's often very creative and funny. Well, make that "sometimes." And this year wasn't one of those times. BUT, I did walk away with a set of Bacon accessories (chapstick, air freshener, dental floss AND a bacon WALLET) and also a talking Duck Dynasty keychain. After the laugh, there's absolutely nothing to do with this stuff but put it in mothballs. I don't even think I can re-gift it later.

BUT - it was amusing and that's the point. Not to Obtain Stuff. But to have a good time doing a Christmassy thing like gift-giving, but without all the time and lavish expense it used to involve when each of us bought gifts to each other of us.


I'll take the fallow, boring years as the price of admission.
