I attended a Christmas party this evening that included, after lots of good food and fellowship, a white elephant gift exchange. As usual with these exchanges, some gifts were rather nice (a tiny crystal sail boat with a clock on the sail) and some were pretty awful (the singing frogs on a log) but I got the most mysterious gift of them all - three little bags, furry on one side, satiny on the other, each with a zipper closure. All three were creamy white in color and rather nice to look at and feel but no one could figure out what they were for. One was shaped like a small coin purse, the second like a visor with a head band and the third one a long skinny bag with the zipper on one small end. One wise guy suggested that that one might be an umbrella holder. Finally, the lady who brought these mysterious items explained. These little bags (made in China according to the tags were intended as ice pack holders, something soft and silky to put on your forehead or wherever when some part of your body aches. How very nice. I know just where to put them.
Did I mention I have to go to another party with white elephant exchange tomorrow?
