White Elephant Gift

 Hi Everyone

 Happy Friday

♥

Are you all finished with your

 Christmas decorating

or are you like our family we 

do not even have our tree yet ....

we will be part of the masses getting our tree this weekend

Do you see this tiny Santa silver bell 

 it was a white elephant gift

every year a dear friend has a Christmas party and asks everyone to bring a small present wrapped

it is one of those swaps where you can trade your gift for someone else s gift 

believe me this game can get intense

   This little Santa bell was the last white elephant gift opened

I was sitting happily with my gift...

a pretty poinsettia plant

and all of the sudden my poinsettia plant was gone and I had the silver Santa bell

I admit I was talking and not really paying attention to the game 

and everyone was laughing turns out the Santa bell had been swapped a few times
{no one wanted him}

but I liked the vintage bell

It fit right in with a few other silver treasures we have 
collected

like this vintage silver chocolate snowman mold 

Now when all the girls come over to our house

 and see the Santa they always say why did we trade him ?
I am grateful they did

romantic saying for today

"What greater thing is there for two human souls 
then to feel that they are joined for life"
