dirty white elephant

every year my dad's side of the family has a kid's christmas party and an adults only christmas party. shockingly- i'm sure- i sooooo look forward to the adult party which is this saturday... yay! at this awesomely fun occasion there is, of course, great food, drinks, and company. the best part, though, is the white elephant exchange. i'm sure, by now, every one has had the privilege of witnessing or even participating in such an uproarous event but for the white elephant virgins out there, it's simple: each person/couple brings an anonymous wrapped gift (we have a $40 limit) and everyone places the boxes + bags in the center. then, each person/couple draws a number representing their order in the game. when all numbers are selected, the game begins. the first couple chooses which package they'd like to open and expose the contents to the crowd. then, the next players either choose to open a new gift or steal the opened gift. this continues as each couple takes their turn, however, a gift can only be stolen three times- then it becomes frozen and cannot be stolen again. if the gift you chose and currently posses get's stolen, it becomes your turn again and you can either open a new gift or steal a gift from another couple (unless, of course, it's already frozen).

it's fantastically fun, i promise.

anywho, this year is the first year that my fiance and i will participate and i had so many crazy ideas fluttering around my head as to what contribute i thought i'd never decide. but... i did. and it was a dirty, raunchy decision, i tell ya. one that i'm quite proud of. i went the sexy route. luckily for me, my dad's family is a loud, fun-loving, humorous group and my gift of the "sex for dummies" and "tickle his pickle" books- along with "naughty stockings" for him and her and some candy "virgin again pills"- will fit in perfectly. i can't wait to see everyone's faces.
