Christmas is a time for family. Unfortunately, that often means a momentary catch-up, followed by awkward silences and everyone turning to their phones for comfort. But Twitter user Adrienne Young comes from a family that knows how to take Christmas to the next level.
While you may have experienced a White Elephant gift exchange before, you’ve probably never experienced one that forced you to defeat a family member to claim the prized present. Young’s family makes it an annual tradition – sure, you can steal a gift, but you have to earn it. Young posted videos of the challenges on Twitter.
So my family plays White Elephant with a twist: you have to challenge someone to a mini game if you want to steal their gift… With a huge family it gets out of hand pretty quick.
