what is white elephant christmas

White elephant christmas is a type of party where people exchange gifts, and the gifts are wrapped and placed under a tree or on a table. Participants are assigned numbers, and the person with the number one picks a gift from the pile. Then the person with the number two can choose to either keep their gift or steal someone else's. The game continues until everyone has had a turn, and at the end, everyone gets to keep the gift they have at the end. It's a fun way to celebrate the holidays with friends and family.
