We're going to a company holiday party tonight (and it really is a "holiday" party; it's at the CEO's house and he's Jewish.) We will no doubt return with two terribly useless items from the White Elephant exchange. (Ours are generic but decent, as they should be IMHO: a box of fudge, and a collection of teas. Since no one knows who brought what, I always try to end up taking home the thing I brought, but it rarely works. Last year, we ended up with an ugly bird statuette like the kind you see in the Hallmark store, and a "roll your own sushi" bamboo mat.
