When you have a family you don't usually do a gift exchange. However, if you have a large family, buying gifts for everyone can be quite expensive. Imagine me. I had a family of 7 brothers and 1 sister. Some of my brothers were married with kids. I also was married with kids. Shopping for that many people without breaking your bank was a real challenge. I managed somehow. But it wasn't easy!
But then I thought of the idea of doing a white elephant gift exchange for the family when we got together to enjoy the holiday meal. I figured it would cut down on the expense of having to buy several gifts. I tried to sell this idea to family members but they wouldn't buy it.
- Do you participate in the gift exchange at social gatherings?
- What do you think of the idea of a gift exchange for the extended family? Sometimes it's very expensive buying for lots of family members. But perhaps if you did the white elephant exchange for the family get-together, it would be less expensive and probably more fun!
P.S. Sometimes the White Elephant gift exchange is called Secret Santa.
