Holiday fun
Wednesday night I attended the holiday party of a ladies group at church. Every year we have a Naughty Santa gift exchange and it can get pretty intense. You know the kind of gift exchange where everyone draws a number and number one picks a present, then all subsequent numbers have the option of stealing something already open or picking an unopened gift.

See how happy she is to have taken it in the picture on the right? This is supposed to be a white elephant exchange, but a lot of people (like me) bring something new. In the past I've gotten stuck with some real doozies as gifts from this dinner. So I decided on a new strategy this year: steal or end up with something I don't want. To achieve my goal, ideally, I needed to steal something already stolen once (we have a two-steal maximum). So I took the hat because I really like it and it fit the criteria. At least I look a LITTLE sheepish:
And the best part? I wore it for the rest of the night. The others tried it on for pictures, but then took it off right away. I only took it off when I got in my car to go home. Merry Christmas to all of my friends in St. Jude Altar Society! And thanks, Denice, for the cool hat.
