Party

We went to a White Elephant party last night, which I don't particularly enjoy, but this was a hoot! Instead of bringing a lame gift, everyone had to bring a liquor of their choice. All this gifts were wrapped and hidden under the tree in preparation for the exchange. The group was a mixed crowd of army guys and teachers and me. All the teachers brought liquor, drinks, juice, pop, cups and wrapped it all in a nice bag with a card and everything. The army guys each brought a 40oz inside a brown paper bag. (There was Old English ((union made!)) Bud and a German Spiced Wine - ouch) Two of the guys felt really bad about their decision in liquors and ended up with someone else's 40. The one guy did not and ended up with a BIG Bacardi-O, Orange Hi-C and two non-tippable "drunk" glasses. On top of that, he didn't even share any of his hooch. Almost all the drinks were gone by 9 o'clock and this guy then gets up and walks out with his treats un-opened. The one poor teacher, who also happened to be the only one under age, ended up with the spiced wine a little bitter.

All and all, it was a great party and a great idea. Elisabeth and I brought Vanilla Vodka and Sprite, which when mixed tastes like Cream Soda = Dangerous!
