A Lot of our friends were not able to get together for various reasons during the holiday season this year. Everyone's timing was off. We all wanted to get together and decided to wait until after New Years past to do something when it was more convenient for all. So we did. We decided to have an after holidays Re-Gift party. At first I was skeptical. My wife explained it to me.
What you do is: everyone wraps and brings their worst gift and Re-gifts it to someone else. You play a white elephant type gift game where everyone draws a number.
Now at first I thought this was a stupid idea...especially since The Texas Aggies were playing Basketball on TV and Pittsburgh and Seattle were battling it out also . But the more the game advanced the more fun it was. We were able to watch the sports games and play our game simultaneously. It turned out to be a great evening with friends. If you are interested, here are some of the gifts that some of the men received:
- Cut glass matching perfume bottle set
- Lilac scented potpourri aerosol spray-can
- And my favorite..... a dainty small stuffed cat with lace tutu. (That is what I drew for)
- The most fought after gift of the night...... was the ceramic Beer Butt Chicken Cooker. Very popular.
Well the party was a success. Most of the food was eaten. Everyone was happy. There was only one negative...A University of Texas fan spent the entire evening teaching Peepers , our parrot , to say Hook-em Horns. It is very very hard to unteach a parrot anything.
