What Would A Party Be W/O White Elephant Gifts

Tonight we went to the Becketts for a Christmas dinner for the Stake Presidency. We had a delicious ham, garlic mashed red potatoes, homemade rolls and butter, green salad, and pretzel jello salad. It is fun to get together with each other as friends outside of a church setting.
After dinner we had our White Elephant gift exchange. OH! This was so funny we laughed so hard we were crying. There will definitely be some re-gifting next year of certain items I'm sure! Duff and I brought the best white elephant gift of the evening until the very last gift. Beth picked up the last box, and Diana was laughing really hard already. Obviously, this one came from the Fullers. Beth opened it and found some beautiful pink and white slippers with red and green M&M christmas flowers on the toes. As she took them out of the plastic bag, she realized 'what' the slippers were made of: feminine products. I think we were all in shock as Beth screamed and dropped them. None of us could stop laughing.
Here we are at the end of the game with all of our White Elephant treasures.

Topped off the evening with a yummy oreo dessert.
