by: Tinna Chung 鍾羽婷NATWA II's first White Elephant Party was a great hit! Our very own Michi graciously opened her home to us and did an awsome job being hostess. NATWA II members were able to bond over some great finger foods, presents, and games. What better way to spend an evening over the holidays, right?
We spent the first few hours snacking on some yummy appetizers and getting to know one another. From college students to accomplished lawyers, all of the women had their own interesting stories to tell. It was a wonderful experience to be a part of as everyone sat around each other and exchanged stories and laughed together.
Then came time for presents! Everyone drew numbers and started tearing into the presents. The White Elephant gift exchange went smoothly but everyone was way too nice about stealing gifts! But I was guilty of this myself. This only means that we need more events for everyone to get to know each other better so no one is shy about stealing gifts at our next White Elephant Party!
After all the presents were opened, we moved onto games. Taboo is always a great favorite of mine. Hilarity ensued as we learned a thing or two about how each other's minds' worked. There was some very clever use of wordplay and there were some very very interesting word associations during the game. All in all, it was great fun and I personally look forward to the next time I get to hang out with these girls!
