Instead of bringing a "white elephant" present we bring a gift we would like, that way there's atleast one thing brought that I'd like to bring home-We play Dirty Pool, the problem is that my taste and others in the family's taste are quite different, I usually choose to either take back my own or my mothers-both are things we would have like to have had. Ask people to bring a gift that they've always wanted-may be everyone could tell why they brought their gift.
