our department holiday luncheon was today and we did a white elephant gift exchange. we decided on bringing in stuff from home, which was perfect, because i have an entire box labeled "gifts" that have accumulated over the years. i don't particularly like to regift (and honestly, who would want the junk i have)?
but one man's trash is another man's treasure, right? i wasn't sure about the gifts i brought in, but to my own surprise, someone specifically stole them over opening a new gift. i couldn't believe it.
i was the last to go so had the chance to "steal" any of the gifts that had already been opened. there were a couple items i could have made use of and i was especially eyeing up a baking dish that had been unwrapped the turn before mine. but i decided to forego any stealing, to which there were remarks about me being nice.. perhaps, but i didn't care too much about what i'd get. lately, will all this hype leading up to christmas and fighting the crowds and being on the hunt for the perfect gift.. well, i'm not really feeling it. i think that's a good thing, though. i think what it means is i have everything i could possibly want.
