What Is a White Elephant Gift Exchange?
A white elephant gift exchange is a game at a holiday party where players try to score the best gift at the party. Everyone puts their gifts in the center and arranges themselves in a circle. Next, players pick numbers – the one with the lowest card chooses first. People start choosing their gift of choice, but as the game progresses, partygoers can either choose a wrapped gift from the center or steal from someone's unwrapped gift.
