a novel idea. an "edible gifts" secret santa party!
my friend was invited to an "edible gifts only" secret santa party. it was the type of secret santa where you pool the gifts, and then you draw numbers to pick your gift, but you can choose to steal the gift of someone who'd chosen before you or take a new one from the pile... (what is this type of secret santa called? is it called "bad santa"? "selfish santa"? or... something like that??)
i like the idea of edible gifts only though. because, you know... for this kind of secret santa, you don't know who your recipient will end up being... and realistically, i think most people would rather have a box of cookies than a $20 candle holder (or something random like that).
except...
my friend...
got a chinese cabbage.
hahahahahahahahahahaha.
(to be fair, there was a $20 starbuck gift card tied to it.)
i thought i was going to die laughing when she told me this story. she thought it was a giant kinder surprise egg or something. hahahahaha. she told me this story yesterday... and it still cracks me up.
