Christmas Party

Hmmm...
I may be being a little legalistic... but what do you think about drinking wine during a bible study meeting?
Hmmm...

I went to another Christmas party tonight. This is a great year! Three (3) Christmas party so far! Yai ! ! !
Yeah, it was pretty cool. Just a smallgroup from my church. I went because I was told that they're having a Christmas party. Turned out that it was a bible study - with a Christmas party added on to it. Dang it.

So we had a Yellow Elephant Gift Exchange. It's usually a White Elephant gift exchange, but seeing we were all Asians there, we decided it be best a Yellow Elephant gift exchange. =)
Here's how it works.
You have a pile of gifts that people bring (we usually have a limit on gift price - like minimum of $10 and maximum of $10. Which means, you better bring a $10 gift!), and each person gets a turn to choose a gift.
So first person goes and picks out a gift and opens it. Then the next person goes and has a chance to pick an unwrapped gift from the pile of gifts or steal the other person's opened gift. It's classic!
Usually one or two people bring an awesome gift, and the gift stealing war starts. And lot of times people colleborate with others to steal the gift that their girlfriend - or maybe some chick you're trying to impress - wants to get, and it turns into a full-on brawl. It's awesome!

Well, seeing how I was the first to pick a gift, and no one stole my gift, I didn't get to steal anyone else's gift and ended up with the gift that I had originally opened.
How appropriate. The picture above is my winnings from Yellow Elephant.
