Gifts Gone Bad

Campfire Guy here.  Merry Christmas!  Hopefully, this morning you awoke to stockings and gift bags full of your favorite things.  Raindrops on roses, whiskers on kittens or maybe an XBox.

What If You Opened Up A Farting Santa?

If your smile turned into a frown and your loot pile resembled the Island of Misfit Toys do not fret.  No gift receipt, no problem!  Farting Santa may have some use yet.  Don’t just give it to Goodwill, save it for a Regift Party!

(Editors Note: if your mom bought you an ugly Christmas sweater, don’t bring that to the Regift Party if she’s going to be there.  Just embrace the ugly sweater and bring a fruit cake instead.)

A Regift Party is similar to the classic White Elephant gift exchange.  Everyone brings a gift, draws numbers and hope that what they ended up with was as good as, if not better than what they brought.

Now, take that hope and toss it aside.  There are few winners at a Regift Party.  Remember, the gift pool may be full of Farting Santas, Curl-A-Dogs and Hot Lips Face Heaters.

If you can embrace, “One Man’s Trash Is Another Man’s Treasure”, you may be in for a treat.

Or you could be in for a Squatty Potty.

How The Regift Exchange Works

There are several variations on the theme.  Since I’m a simpleton, we’ll keep it simple.

Bring a wrapped misfit gift.

• Have everyone draw numbers (out of a hat), not on a chalkboard.
• Establish the number of times a gift can be stolen.
• Start with #1 and have that person pick a gift to open.
• #2 can either pick another gift on the table or steal #1’s gift
• Wash, Rinse, Repeat until everyone has a gift.
• At the end, person #1 can then choose to keep their original gift or steal.
• Shake hands, hug it out, game over.

Sometimes, you may have a friend that got everything on their Christmas list.  This friend might bring a bottle Crown to your regift party instead of a Squatty Potty.  That’s a good friend, make sure to keep them around.

Have a Happy New Years, stay safe out there!
