THESE FOLKS GOT A GREY (ALMOST) ELEPHANT GIFT.  DOES THAT COUNT?

 

Mammoth discovery 50,000-year-old baby mammoth found in ‘exceptional’ shape: ‘Remarkably well preserved’

These scientists made a mammoth discovery — literally.

The best gift I ever received was a Pee-wee Herman doll. Instead of elf on the shelf, Pee-wee makes his rounds around the house. LOL!

The best gift I ever gave, I think, was a small rubber goat that screams when you press it. Anytime my friend hosted a gathering, that little scream would randomly echo through the house—especially when things got serious. Always made everyone laugh.

How about you?

Happy holidays to you, and best wishes for a peaceful and prosperous new year!

And you don't even need to feed it

In high school, one of the female teachers received a Merry Christmas necktie 👔 as a White Elephant gift, and she ranted afterwards that what is she, as a woman, going to do with such a hideous tie.  I gladly offered to take it off her hands and proudly wore it on weekly school Chapel days during Advent each year.  I still have that tie and have worn it when dressing up during Christmas.

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎄 

(And if you are disturbed by my wish of a Merry Christmas, then please just have a regular Christmas instead 😉)

Two years ago I threw into the ring: some cellulite lotion and a package of pasties (the kind for your nipples, not the kind you eat). Plus a bottle of booze. My stepmom didn’t understand why the pasties were so funny. She drank the booze.

This year my brother in-law received a pair of enormous bright red bloomers and a hand massager. My sister took the bloomers and waved them around from side to side saying “Olé, olé!” with my nieces and nephews charging into the fabric.

My other brother in-law received a pair of spangly women’s sandals. $5 on a two for one special at the drugstore. They fit, they looked surprisingly good on him, and he said they were comfortable. So he wore them the rest of the day! My mother in-law received the other pair.

My favorite white elephant gift of all time was a machete from co-workers at my old day job, of all places. Had to steal it back from my boss. Good times.

Could prove very helpful when confronted by particularly thick bush
