Holiday Prep

On a recent family night, Newton and I put together and decorated this gingerbread train kit we got at a white elephant exchange:


If you look carefully, you can see that our train is decorated very much like the one pictured on the box. That is thanks to Newton. Pretty much any deviation from the picture was my doing.

That's a pretty good white elephant exchange prize! What ever happened to the lame-o, often slightly scary gifts that are supposed to be given? See, it's cool gifts like the one you received that make the rest of us afraid to bring the crazy stuff-- we're afraid of being the only ones to follow the old school rules! I guess it's okay if they outline what is expected ahead of time, though.

We got off lucky at the white elephant. The other gift we came home with was a snow globe with strangely yellow "water," and instead of a song, it plays wind and creepy loons. Nice.
