A Passion WHAT???

The email said…

“I’ll pick you up at 5. Bring $25 for a basket of passion gifts, white elephant style. It should be really fun!”

WHAT?

Okay, so first off I had the wrong definition for white elephant. In my mind it meant used…so gross! Passion gifts and USED was all I had in my head and the look of YUCK was all over my face.

I was CONFUSED.

I didn’t want to go anymore but I had already said yes to the “girl’s night”…

Apparently to all normal humans (that means people other than me) white elephant is a style of gift exchange. Big pile of gifts, first person opens a gift; second person can take first person’s gift or take a new gift from the pile…and so on. Everything is new…nothing used!!! What a relief.

I can see how that might be fun. It will be a good ice breaker since I will only know one person there. Hard to feel any more awkward than anyone else when you are sitting around holding baskets full of PASSION. Unless you are a passion collector…then you might feel right at home and not awkward at all.

Never been to one of these parties before…closest thing was one of N’s soccer parties. It was parents only and it was for Christmas. They were the most wacked group of parents I have ever encountered…the prized gift was a pair of candy panties and matching bra only pieces were MISSING…Tonight’s party should be much better. More PASSION ya know??
