The B Team

Every year, the adults in my family do a Secret Santa gift exchange. However, one fateful Thanksgiving night, after not being invited to participate in the grown-up gift exchange, the twenty-somethings and Dean (hehe) got together and decided that perhaps we should do our own. Thus, the "Christmas at the Kids Table Annual Gift Exchange/The B Team" was born.

Josh and I hosted this year's gathering and it was a great success. Last year we did a White Elephant exchange but this year we switched it up and drew names. Naturally, there was a twist. The participant who bought the lamest gift for their recipient would be thrown out of the family. Andrew dubbed it "Survivor: Christmas". Needless to say, everyone did a wonderful job picking out their gifts and no one was kicked out of the family.

Whew! This Baskin Robbins Pralines 'n Cream Ice Cream and Rush Hour board game I got for Dean saved me from being banished from our clan.
