Annual Staff Party

We had our staff Christmas party last night. Besides eating and playing Christmas games, we did the Dirty Santa gift exchange with few rules. A gift could be taken as many times as desired, only not immediately on the next choice. It actually took 15 minutes for one person's turn because of all the gift exchanging. Some formed teams with strategies of who would take what so that she could end up with the gift she wanted in the end. When the game was finally over, the three main culprits, quickly made a triangular swap to get the gift they wanted all along. It was the best gift exchange ever. I laughed so hard that I ended up with a headache. Of course, I got what I wanted and no one tried to take mine, and I wasn't interested in what the others where "fighting" over. As the group prepared to leave for the night, someone bemoaned that her shoes were missing! Seems someone took MJ's shoes and left hers by "mistake"???? The shoeless lady wore size 6 and the clunkers left behind were size 8 1/2 or 9. With no other choice, MJ put on the unattractive, over-sized clod hoppers and shuffled off to her car. I imagine there will be some lively exchanges at school today and maybe some payback.
