Bailey Christmas Party

Have you ever gone to a Christmas party, and felt confident that your gift was really funny, and perhaps the best of the bunch? I will never make those kind of assumptions when Tom's family is involved. I am sure Sara and Morgan couldn't sleep last night-they were so excited. I noticed a strange electricity in the air around Sara and Morgan as my hand drifted in the direction of the mysterious box. A hush fell on the room, much like a snugly blanket with arms. I don't know what I was expecting, but it for sure wasn't this...

So, I am going to spell it out for you:
-Goat for wedding present
-Rat for Christmas last year
-Two doves (not sure if they are turtle or not)
I can't wait until next year. I am hoping for a pony. (This is Tom's joke that I am regifting to you all.)

They take it to a WHOLE new level. I'm in awe. That good kind that says I'm not worthy.

WOW!!! That is very clever and cute!

So, what were the rest of the gifts? Spill it. I think Tom has given some of the funniest White Elephant gifts I have ever seen. Unbeatable. Except by Sara and Morgan.

Tom gave an actual white elephant. I gave some full length arm tatoos, Amy made a snugly blanket with arms (that I am so going to make with one of my old shirts.) A fly swatter clock. A book about romance. Jellied fish nastiness, book of mormon battles-playing cards, yo yo, growing dinosaur (correct me if I am wrong)plus more!

That is the best! My mind is swirling with ideas for our white elephant party this weekend.

Anna B said...

I love that idea and only wish it had come a week earlier. I could have totally used that. Fun!

I am getting seriously jealous here over your Sunday dinners and Christmas parties. You gize moved to Idaho at a great time.
For my next white elephant gift I am now going to try and round up 8 maids-a-milking.
