As you know from earlier posts, Alice and her family spent Thanksgiving at Lake Norman. During the family Thanksgiving, there was an "It's All Relative" gift exchange. Some of you may know it as a "Chinese Gift Exchange," but it was determined that was not a politically correct name for the event! Everyone brought a $10 wrapped gift, and drew numbers to determine the "gift picking" order. Folks could either chose and open a gift or "steal" one from someone else. The last person got their pick of all gifts.
Here are some sights and sounds of the 2009 "It's All Relative" gift exchange.
Alice's great-grandson, Jay, with lottery tickets, which granddaughter Mary Pat ended up with. (She won $5.)
Alice's granddaughter, Patti, with a recycled-content Starbucks mug, which Shorti eventually stole. Notice granddaughter Beth preparing for the gift exchange with a big sip of wine!
Alice's son-in-law, Rick, with some kind of huge tool set, which he got to keep.
Alice's grandson, Jimmy, with an undetermined gift.
Alice's great-granddaughter, Rachel, grabbing her gift.
Alice unwrapping her gift...
...which she was obviously surprised to see stolen.
She had her hands on lottery tickets and candy, but ended up with a Bath and Body Works gift set.
