A party where people (usually family, friends, or a combo of the two) get together and have a game where you unwrap, steal, and trade off presents never actually useful in real life. I mean, my family W.E. party got me a laser tape measure!

I got this Joey Fatone Bobblehead doll from that turkey across the street. What could I do with it? I know, It can be the White Elephant at the Christmas party this year!
