Last night was the Access Christmas party. It was a lot of fun. Plenty of sweet treats to eat. I got this amazing white elephant gift. I didn’t just get the nail polish, there was chocolate too. Needless to say, no one wanted to take it away from me. I knew I should have grabbed the Chuck Norris shirt.

When I’ve done a white elephant gift exchange, you open a gift and then either keep it or trade it with someone else’s gift. Well the rules last night were, you either take someone’s gift (and they go get another one) or you get to open a new one. If you open a new one, you’re stuck with it, unless someone else comes along and takes it from you later (which doesn’t happen when you have nail polish). I’m not saying anyone was wrong, I’m just saying I’ve never seen it done that way.(Although Wikipedia says I’m wrong…but since when is Wikipedia right?) Oh Well.

The gift I brought was completely under-appreciated though. I mean who doesn’t want a light bulb that you can stick anywhere. Put in your car and have a super rad dome light. Or put it on your head and look really smart. How book is that? I wanted to say to the guy, “hey, you could have gotten nail polish. Don’t be so ungrateful.” (please understand I’m totally joking around about all this) It was all good fun.

I just wanted to share that with the world.
