A couple years ago the family decided to do the white elephant at my grandma's. I said it would be a bad idea because someone is gonna be pissed. I didn't participate but everyone else did. My cousin (7/8 lib) ended up with a unicorn coffee mug filled with lottery tickets. She was not impressed when she realized she was not $20k richer. Real turd in the punch bowl type of situation. I tried to tell them.
My wife's family did those stupid things. People got pissed every year. They finally gave up.
