I don't care for Mystery bags, and I don't like the Christmas ornament exchanges either. Way too many times I would end up with broken or plastic one from the dollar store. I couldn't believe some people would buy the seconds and give those. Even in fabric exchanges, you have to smile like it's wonderful and you really want to ask the person what they were thinking. And it's not due to lack of money, they are just cheap. One year someone actually put their McDonald's trash in a gift bag for one of the White Elephant gift exchanges and thought it was hilarious. At 66 I don't need anything else that I don't like cluttering up the house.
