Last Friday, Amy and Grady hosted our annual holiday dinner and white elephant gift exchange. Two years ago, it was a smaller gathering and was quite civilized. The rules were clear. The ladies exchanged “nice” gifts and the guys exchanged “fun” gifts. Last year, we had dinner out in the city.
Somehow, the Thornes moved back to the Bay Area and the gloves came off. It’s unclear if everyone got the memo about the rules, but once Morgan stole a guys gift, all hell broke loose. It made for a spirited exchange and there were some gifts that were just not going to find a new owner. I actually re-gifted my Michigan gnome from two years ago, but after being stored and moved all this time, it had self destructed. A replacement was promptly delivered.
Thanks to the Burnetts for hosting another amazing event. Something tells me these gifts are going to keep on giving. Happy Holidays and GO BLUE!
