12-04-2004...The Elders and Deacons Christmas party for church was tonight. The white elephant gift exchange worked out pretty well for Beth and me this year; we drew number close together so I stole a tea light she wanted for my turn, and one pick later she stole it from me. The rule is a gift can only be stolen twice so she locked it in at that point, then I chose again and wound up with a stuffed reindeer (better than it could have been).
