So... tomorrow as part of work's holiday festivities is a White Elephant gift exchange. Which I'm pretty sure I don't understand.
Go out and buy something that you think nobody's going to want so that everybody can take home more stuff they don't need.
It feels... a little offencive, even. Like buying food that nobody likes and making them eat it when they're full and there are people outside going hungry.

That, at least, makes a little more sense.
I don't think it makes me feel any better about it, unfortunately.

Feel free to actually regift something. For my department party I'm packing up a couple of craftsy Christmas decor items (in good shape) that I'd pulled from my collection a while back for garage sale doom. They're nice enough, and I'm pretty sure that someone will want them more than I do. The stuffed Chilly Willy CD wallet I took a couple of years ago was a surprise hit!

I think that will make me feel better. I'm going to check the DVDs.
