Work christmas parties have always included the tradition of white elephant gifting and ever since our kids have been old enough to understand the concept of presents, they've been ardent supporters of the game. This year the coveted giftie was a gigantic blue-wrapped wonder, similar in shape to a giant magnum of champagne. Well, the adults thought so, anyway.

Turns out the package contained 38,000 calories of day-glow orange cheezie puffs. I'm grateful it went home with somebody else's child.
