What is another name for the white elephant gift exchange?
Every year my family gets together and plays the White Elephant gift exchange and I'm writing an essay about it for college but the problem is that I can't seem to think of another name for the game. I know another name for it is Yankee Swap but I know that there are others. Can anybody help me on this? Thanks!
