Allen and Shannon are stunned speechless by the gift of the moment.

Shot at an annual Christmas party some of our closest friends have, this was during the White Elephant/Chinese Christmas gift exchange. For those unfamiliar with the concept of this event, everyone brings one joke or gag gift. Certainly nothing of any genuine redeeming value. All the gifts go into a pile and everyone gets a number. The person with #1 goes first and picks a gift. The second person gets to then choose a gift from under the tree or take the gift from person #1. This goes on until everyone has a gift. Gifts can only be "stolen" 3 times and at the end the person who went first gets to decide if they want to keep what they pulled to start the evening or steal someone else's gift.

A good time was had by all last night. Many thanks to our dear friends Daniel and Roxanne for hosting such a wonderful event yet again.
