Hi all,

I'm doing invitations for a Christmas party and we want to do one of those goofy gift exchanges. Having just moved from out east, we called it a Yankee Swap out there but some people call it a White Elephant gift exchange (and I think some call it "Dirty Santa").

I need to know how to word it on my invitations so that people will know what I'm talking about, so......what do you all call it here in Minnesota?!

thanks,
T

White Elephant exchange... at least up here in northwest MN/northeast ND and I have heard that term while living in Iowa and Missouri too.
