The White Elephant Conspiracy i.e. Christmas Eve by Phil Stooksbury

So it's Christmas Eve and all of the cousins gathered at Grandma and Grandpa Little's house. We have a little tradition that we have been doing on Christmas Eve which is to do a White Elephant exchange. Each person had a couple of dollars to spend on the cheapest gag gift that they can find. Below are the pictures of happy children ready to participate in the festivities.




Little did we know that the aftermath would bring a horrific result. As Jack opened his present, he got what he wanted. A plastic toy gun and police set. As you know with White Elephant gifts, the next person can take it from you. So picture a two year old excited about his new gift then getting it torn out of his hands by someone else. Some traditions shouldn't be traditions at all, we may have to think of a new one. Poor Jack, better luck next year. A word of advice for my son "Go for the Jugular!"

That stinks...no one should play that game with kids, that's just pure torture! Some one needs to buy him one! Hope you had a great Christmas, love the pictures!

Oh my gosh! This makes me want to post the pictures of horror on Abby's face when she was afraid of a balloon that made sounds on Christmas morning. She was terrified and in good family fashion everyone egged her fears on more and took several shots of her face in terror. It looks just like Jacks. So sad. :o(
