      THE ELEPHANT UNDER THE TREE!

    It's December 15th. "National Regifting Day!"

My wife joined some fellow church women earlier

this week for a Christmas party. Their celebration

included "White Elephant gifts." For those who

don't already know a "White Elephant gift" is 

usually an exchange of a gift you were given by

someone else and are now giving to another

person. Regifting has become somewhat

common. You get something you don't need

or can't use. Of a duplicate of something

you already have. A toaster for instance.

You already have a toaster, can't use two,

so you give one to someone else. There are

a couple basic rules to follow when

regifting. First, don't give the gift to the

same person who gave it to you in the

first place. You should rewrap the present.

And don't use the gift before giving it

away. That last rule stopped my from

giving a bottle of wine as a White Elephant

gift. You see, I had already emptied it! Oh

well. Hope you get or give a cool White

Elephant gift, and that all your NEWS is

good!
